Did Marty Walsh put this guy in the race last minute to take votes from Tito? That's a good quality video and I watched it until the end. Good luck to Mr. Osgood, I wish he had entered sooner.

I don't want to second guess Mr. Osgood's last-minute motivations or ability to create that obviously professional video but it's the oldest trick in the book for an incumbent, when challenged, to have someone of the same ethnicity or race of his opponent to enter and split the vote. An Irish candidate being challenged by an Italian might find a second Italian at the last minute willing to be a write-in, etc. For instance in JFK's very first Congressional race there were two candidates named "Joseph Russo" who among others, split the vote.

Osgood seems like a nice, sincere guy. I hope he stays involved.

I've known Donald for many years. He entered the mayoral race in April. Unfortunately, he did not collect enough signatures to be put on the ballot. He definitely was not put in the race to benefit Marty. He wants to be mayor of Boston.
