Caught Kerry Healey's new TV advert last night

she makes the usual spurious claims that as Governor she'll be a bulwark against a rampant state legislature.
There is a reason why Kerry Healey's handlers have kept her out of sight all these months, she looks like a slightly seedy real estate agent desperate to win that set of steak knifes and finally get her name on the big dry erase board.

Otherwise, this twaddle about spending is pretty much her expected line of attack, you could set your watch to it quite frankly.
Given Kerry Healey's paucity of achievements in public life to date and her meager charisma it may be the only option open to her.

My question is, did anyone ever hear Lt. Governor Healey utter word one of dissent when Mitt Romney raised 750 million dollars by increasing ever single fee with reach of the Executive Department?
For that fact, just what is her plan to make sure the Massachusetts taxpayer doesn't get stuck with the bill to repair Bechtel-Parson's shoddy workmanship on the Big Dig?
Granted this is something that won't register with the wider electorate or the local punditariat for that matter, but it is pretty damn galling about Kerry Healey's condescending lectures about public thrift when she is trying to BUY the governorship with her husband's money.
I'd love to see Kerry Healey have to enter the marketplace free and unfettered and try and EARN herself the four to ten million she'd need to win.
That would prove an interesting and edifying spectacle...
