The LG's campaign has a new TV spot intimating that Chris Gabrieli supports stem-cell research because it'll make him a whole bunch of cash. (Thanks to WRKO's John DePetro for running audio of the ad on his show this morning.) This certainly suggests that Healey sees Gabrieli as the biggest threat in the general, and is trying to ensure that either Deval Patrick or Tom Reilly wins Tuesday's primary. I can't see Gabrieli supporters changing their minds as a result, but it could keep some waffling Tom Reilly backers from jumping ship to Gabs at the last minute--and if things get really tight, that could help tilt the balance in Patrick's favor. Healey's camp said they couldn't get me an audio or video clip of the spot, and that that they wouldn't be putting it up on their web site. (If I remember correctly, Healey's never mentioned.) If any readers see it, please let the rest of us know what you think. NOTE: Gabs is holding a press conference on the State House steps at 2 p.m. today to respond to Healey's ad. The drama! UPDATE: Here's the text of Healey's advertisement. Apologies for any formatting issues.
