WSJ on the Mass. gov's race

Published Oct 24 2006, 05:47 PM by Adam Reilly

If you know anybody who hasn't followed Patrick versus Healey and needs to get up to speed, this Wall Street Journal article is a great start. (Gracias to the ever-vigilant men and women of Blue Mass. Group.)

Here's the bad part for Healey: "Mr. Patrick, a political newcomer, appears to have the race well in hand...." And for Mitt Romney, whose presidential ambitions prompted the piece: "For Mr. Romney, a one-term governor with no prior political experience, Ms. Healey's fortunes may speak volumes about his ability to leave a legacy or rally a political base."

As an added plus, the story features some unconvincing praise of Massachusetts from Romney--delivered via Eric Fehrnstrom, natch.

I agree - an accurate portrayal of the current state of affairs. Conveys the Mass electorate's hostility towards our absentee governor and also notes Mitt's limited experience in office. Can you send a copy to the LA LA Times story from last week.
