"wet ink democrat", because said ink was not yet dry on State Treasurer Tim Cahill's renunciation of the democratic party before the DSC chair piled into the 2010 race for the treasurer's office.
The above article notes that Grossman did not consult with Cahill before announcing, at the rate he was going, I think Grossman must've bowled over the milkman in a headlong flight to file his candidacy papers first with the Secretary of State.
And this mah frenz is only the beginning...everyone will wanna piece of this sumbitch, it is the only other wide open state wide race in 2010, a notable and rare prize indeed here in the Commonwealth.
I can see a dozen names on both sides of the ballot and maybe one in the middle...some of these poor jittery sonsabitches have been fundraising for decades waiting for that one clear shot at glory.
Over at the Blue Mass Group all sorts of names are being aired....including a joshing reference to Menotomy's own State Representative Sean Garballey.
It will be interesting to see who BMG coalesces behind as this process unfolds, they are after all a rising constituency in the party.
As for me, I'm wondering if Cameron Kerry (Senator Kerry's brother)will take a look at the race, he badly wanted to run for Secretary of State in 2006 and it is well known he'd love to grab off something nice in Massachusetts. The man has some potential in public life but if he want's Humble Elias' advice then puh-leez skip this one...fake a respiratory disorder if you have too or shooting pains in the legs!
It is a thankless job wherein your worst troubles will be caused by your best friends.
Nope I say wait out Martha Coakley (who'd KILL to be a US Senator, I mean fuh real kids!) or Billy Galvin...the state treasurer's office is nothing but grief.
