In an exclusive interview, Mihos could only say: Woof!

Whiteboy gets the scoop:

... Patrick: "Hello?"

Mihos: "Is your refrigerator running?"

Patrick: "Yes, my refrigerator is running."

Mihos: "Well, I'M NOT anymore!" ...

Joe Dwinell covered the debate as it happens.

Whiteboy also covered it:

Cokie Roberts: Hello, and welcome. I'm Cokie Roberts. You might remember me as Sam Donaldson's dominatrix on This Week before that short, cute, Greek little man replaced us. Before we begin, I'd like to ask a question of the Democrat because that's all us media folks can talk about today. Should Kerry have apologized for his comments? ...

Debate transcript. Ed Prisby breaks out the Miller Lite sixpack to help him watch the debate. Prisby may have some competition in the transcription biz.

Hub Politics on Healey's debate performances: While she is right on the issues, Kerry Healey is not coming off well in these debates.

Mass. Marrier explains why last evening's next-to-last televised debate was incessantly annoying, like rubbing a little Tabasco into an eye by mistake and compares the four candidates to various objects. More analysis from the Outraged Liberal.

On Channel 4 at 7 p.m. Jon Keller frets nobody will watch.

Those Inmates for Healey are real wimps. Doesn't take any prison smahts to stroll around Milton at 7 a.m. OK, tough guys, if you really want to impress us, drive up to Pride's Crossing tomorrow and kidnap Kerry Healey. Get really tough and muss her hair.

Outraged Liberal: Just when you thought the Healey campaign could not hit a new low, they come up with a way to surprise you.

But will we keep seeing them? Or will guys in chicken suits start following Patrick around?

Ed Prisby would love that - he appreciates dorks in costumes.

Blue Mass. Group links to an FBI report showing that Massachusetts does have the highest violent-crime rate in the Northeast - even beating, gasp, New Jersey. Also, says Healey lied about the number of police on the street.

Hub Politics acknowledges that report, but says the real story is that violent crime in Massachusetts went down under Romney/Healey - Massachusetts was already pretty violent before they took office.

Who won the debate?

Outraged Liberal: Patrick.
Mass. GOP News: Healey (Mass. GOP News earns bonus points for watching post-debate analysis and concluding that Mike Barnicle must have suffered a head injury shortly before going on air).

Joe Dwinell is posting away.

Mihos comes out against the tollbacks on the turnpike as a cheap political trick.

Elias calls it electoral blackmail. Berto thinks eliminating the tolls is a great idea, but predicts the plan will die when Patrick wins.

Outraged Liberal: OK Mitt and Kerry -- how about rolling back T fares too?

Oh, but what would a campaign report be without long discussions of rape and murder?
