Statewide results from Channel 4.

Tom Menino gets ready to host a unity rally in, holy mother of pearl, Adams Park in Roslindale (Roslindale - it's the new black - and I am so there, any UH readers who are going, let me know).

Kristie Helms will be there:

How happy is my latte-sipping, East Coast elitist, blue state little heart tonight? ...

City of Boston results:

Convicted felon William Celester loses to grandma Willie Mae Allen in the 6th Suffolk state rep's race. Incumbent felon Dianne Wilkerson clings to victory over Sonia Chang-Diaz in the 2nd Suffolk senate race (look for Chang-Diaz to call for a recount). Reilly downfall Marie St. Fleur wins another term in the 5th Suffolk state rep's race. Steve Lynch proves he's no Lieberman; squashes Lamontish Dunkelbarger in Boston's end of the ninth congressional district. Maura Hennigan looks to enjoy her retirement years in the Superior Court criminal clerk's office. Mickey Roache gets another term in the rocking chair at the Registry of Deeds.

City of Newton results.

Sco liveblogged from the Patrick party.

Hub Politics blogged from Kerry Healey's party.

Patrick's victory speech.
Gabrieli concession speech.
Reilly concession speech.
Healey victory speech (victory speech? Yep).

Herald Managing Editor Joe Dwinell explains why he didn't vote today.

I spent the weekend chasing gubernatorial candidates with my camcorder.....produced three video clips....and then I posted them on a video blog that's linked to the Globe's politics page.

I asked the candidates about their favorite music...and I asked Chris Gabrieli about the first concert he attended.....(it turns out his first show was Elvis Costello at the Orpheum in 1978).

There are three clips so far - one each for Reilly, Gabrieli, and Patrick - and they run about five minutes long. It's worth a look!

Specifically: The ones who rent those automated calling things that WON'T HANG UP even when you do. Like the spawn of satan that just called me to tell me to vote for Tim Murray and Deval Patrick.

Or Chris Gabrieli. Especially Chris Gabrieli, because our third grader, who already despises him for his proposal to lengthen the school day or year or decade, now gets so incensed about him whenever one of his ads comes on TV that she starts ranting about him - about how I shouldn't vote for him because of the school thing and his stupid commercials and HIS TELEPHONE CALLS THAT NEVER END. And really, a third grader is just too young to develop an ulcer and I'm getting tired of going "enough already!"

Here are links to some blog endorsements of candidates in tomorrow's primaries (please add any I've missed):

Back of the Hill: Gabrieli
Blue Mass. Group: Patrick
Mass Marrier: Patrick (you'll also find his endorsements for other statewide and various Suffolk County offices).
Michael Burstein: Patrick
Sam Seidel: Patrick

Hub Politics: No endorsement in the Republican senate race

See this thread for links to some unbiased reports on this year's races and candidates.

Hub Politics uses a quote from an eight-year-old Watertown Tab article to slam Chris Gabrieli. Blue Mass. Group goes aha - no way could the Margolis Brothers have found that quote themselves, therefore, the Healey campaign is feeding its oppo research to the blog. Bonus: The current editor of the Watertown Tab jumps into the fray.

Much gnashing of teeth among the local blogocracy over the recent gubernatorial endorsements of the two local dailies - Globe for Patrick and Herald for Reilly:

Dan Kennedy doesn't get why Globe endorsements never mention the candidates the paper doesn't find worthy (except, apparently, when it comes to the secretary of state race).

John Daley adds up the Globe's Patrick endorsement and the Herald's Reilly endorsement and figures Gabrieli will win next week.

Fitzgerald of the Herald (who had nothing to do with the endorsement), however, says possibly more important than the paper's nod is the fact that many mayors still back Reilly.

On Blue Mass. Group, David thinks the Herald's Reilly endorsement can only help Patrick by drawing moderate voters away from Gabrieli.

Over at the Globe, though, David Dahl goes outside and starts looking for black helicopters, arguing the Herald really endorsed Reilly to help get Patrick the nomination so Healey can then wipe the floor with him in November.

John Daley smacks the Globe for reporting on the controversy surrounding the source of that leaked Marie St. Fleur memo even as it admits in passing that it knows who gave it the document:

... So the Globe knows whether Reilly's vocal and pointed accusations are true or false and they know whether Gabrieli's firm denials are true or false. But we in the public are in the dark on an issue bearing on the integrity and honesty of two officials running for an important office. I thought newspapers were supposed to inform us about these things, not hide them from us. ...

Ed Prisby imagines Belichick's comments at a post-debate press conference.

At Pasquinade, Amy said the debate was pure comedy gold:

... Chris Gabrieli stood about two and a half feet taller than Tom Reilly and Deval Patrick, with a completely goofy expression on his face. With the three podiums next to each other, it looked like an SNL version of Celebrity Jeopardy. Tom Reilly twitched like a rabid dog on a leash, and Deval Patrick stood smoothly at his podium. ...

Political Intelligence blogs up a storm at tonight's gubernatorial debate.

Andy at Mass Revolution Now jumps on Reilly's performance:

... I thought that Reilly's debate prep was most likely done in a locker room just before the debate where he put on a helmet and had his campaign staff slap him on the head while shouting things like "who's got a big house in Milton while you are still renting in Watertown!" ...

Adam Reilly declares Reilly's campaign dead.

Mass. Marrier says goodbye to Reilly:

... We watched the debate with our Boston Latin School student, who had that as an assignment. We restrained ourselves. Even in our silence, we heard him hooting and snorting at Tom's bluster and jive. Our AG is not credible even to a 16-year-old. ...
