There's another NECN/
Globe/WBUR/MassInc debate later this
month--this one's focused on healthcare and education--but unlike the
first debate put on by those civic-minded organizations,
Christy Mihos
wasn't invited. (Neither was
Kerry Healey, but we all know she wouldn't
have come anyway.)
What's the scoop, you ask? According to NECN's Doreen Vigue, nothing
nefarious is afoot. "They're the only party that's going to have a
primary," Vigue says of the
Mass Dems. "So we want voters to get a
clear look at their candidates in this debate. That's not to say there
won't be others...We look forward to having Mihos and Healey in another
debate situation as soon as we can get them all together again."
Should Mihos be pissed? I'd say yes, if his performance in the last
NECN, et al debate had been stronger. But based on what we saw of
Christy's debating skills, he should probably be happy to sit this one
out.
