So, Eileen McNamara thinks Tom Reilly is pandering on the illegal-immigration issue.
(And yes, I use the term "illegal" knowing that some people think it's
too pejorative. I'm not convinced.) I'm a big McNamara fan, but I
wonder--if Tom Reilly is pandering, what about Chris Gabrieli? Of
course, figuring out if a politician's stances are sincere or expedient
is an inexact science. So here's what I'm wondering: which of our
various candidates for governor is making the right call on the
immigration debate from a purely strategic point of view? Gabrieli and
Kerry Healey are taking a hard-line tack, Patrick and Reilly aren't. So
who's going to benefit come the general election? Listen to WRKO for
two minutes, and you'll learn that there's some truly nasty anti-I.I.
sentiment out there. Then again, the same thing was true for gay
marriage, and look how that played out in 2004*... Thoughts, anybody?
NOTE: Not 2006, which I wrote the first time around.
