Word on the street is...

That Cindy Friedman (Senator Jim Marzilli's immensely hardworking Chief of Staff) and longtime Lexington democratic activist Bob Peters have consented to act as campaign co-chairs for Ken Donnelly's state senate campaign.
Acquiring Friedman is a particular coup, the boys in the back room have long cited her as a superb organizer and a key player in Marzilli's victory in last fall's special election. Either Ken Donnelly or Jack Hurd would be well advised to keep Cindy on after the election...she really is that good.
As for Bob Peters the man has a long tail in Lexington and will bring much political wampum to the table in a town that Donnelly has to carry by a wide margin if he wants to win. Purists will recall that Bob toyed with running for state senate himself last fall before ultimately bailing out whereupon after due rumination he endorsed Marzilli.

Humble Elias wonders though, if either Bob or Cindy can give us any insight into the current round of polling from "Summit Research"?
There is a theory being bruited about to the effect that the calls are aimed at retired state workers of various stripes.
But I emphasize, it is only a theory.
