Blute ist Kaput

at least insofar as running against Teddy Kennedy goes.

Hell, not a week ago he was boasting how he'd love to make a race against Edward Maxiumus...the Roves and Norquists were after him to run so the rumors ran.
But as of today, Pete sez no.
In-teresting...

Clearly the once sterling value of promises from the National GOP machine have degraded if a fourth rate ranter like Pete Blute feels he say "no" with impunity.
Left unsaid are any other political plans Peter Blute might have, specifically the intriguing notion of running with Christy "Old Milk" Mihos on an independent gubernatorial ticket this fall.
This could be different, Blute is reputed to have a famously hollow leg and Mihos an empty head that is no impediment to blurting out the most asinine nonsense imaginable.
Of course, there are some doubts out there as to how serious Mihos really is about making the race. He has to signal his intentions by next month so I read and right now the campaign consists a of a few sighing editorials in the Globe and some vague statements from the Candidate.
Not much to go on at the moment, but Pete Blute has fallen far off the radar screen so why wouldn't he take a flyer if the offer came?
If Blute does run for Lieutenant Governor on the Old Milk Ticket, it will be fun to see whether Lehigh and McGrory will break with Healey and reconfigure this former Gingrich toady as a "born again" republican moderate.
