  Adam:

  Didn't see it, but if those quote are correct, they do have some work to do on their sales pitch.  

  The concept is cetainly novel as opposed to the traditional "endorsement" and promise of inclusion.  Would love to know the back sttory to this plan between Flaherty and Yoon. I wonder if it won't be percieved as a gimic?

  Not what I heard. I heard that Flaherty-Yoon would pass Term Limits for Mayor of Boston within the first 100 days.

  He's gonna fire Yoon in the first 100 days.

  These guys share not much.

  Yoon is getting used like the tool he is.

  B. Bertie, did you hear that at the press conference specifically? I'm pretty confident in my ears, but maybe I missed some accompanying remarks--there was a loud-ass sound truck nearby, and Flaherty and Yoon weren't using mics (at least functional ones).

  no, there was no explicit mention of 100 days on passing that.

  definitely seems like a gimic to me...considering Flaherty is blatantly conservative and Yoon at least claims to be progressive.
