Senator Kirk; Plus, The Ch. 7/Suffolk Poll
By David S. Bernstein

--On September 1st, I predicted on Twitter and Facebook that Paul Kirk would be the temporary Senate appointee -- I believe I was the first to publicly float his name for it. The next day a Boston Phoenix editorial advocating Kirk for the position went online. (To the best of my knowledge, that was also the first place where the point was made that Kennedy's staff had ceased its constituent-services work, and a temporary appointment would allow them to re-start it.

Sneak Preview: All Eyes On Cahill
By David S. Bernstein

In this week's issue of the Boston Phoenix -- in print tomorrow, online now -- I have an article about state treasurer Tim Cahill, who certainly seems to be positioning himself for a 2010 run against Gov. Deval Patrick.
The past couple of weeks, it seems to have sunk in among the state's political cognoscenti that Cahill really does intend to run, quite likely as an independent.

O'Connell Out At Econ. Dev.
By David S. Bernstein

A mere week after this reporter socked him with a B- grade, the Patrick administration has announced that Dan O'Connell is out; he has been Secretary of Housing and Economic Development for two years.

He is being replaced by the current undersecretary of business development, Gregory Bialecki, who I singled out for brief praise in that same article.
