Sooo...Tim Cahill is gonna run to the

right of Charlie "Ziplips" Baker and Governor Patrick, at least as far as health care is concerned?
Interesting and suggestive sez Humble Elias, who still thinks this particular gubernatorial contest could become a showdown between Tim and Deval with Charlie stumbling along for a bronze medal.
Well, just this in mind, the split in this race, isn't in the democratic party, it is among the Commonwealth's registered independents who are used to bargaining dearly and favorably with the state's two major political parties.
Seems like Cahill and the Governor get this, as for Baker who knows what he know and who is telling it to him. Baker looks more and more like a maladroit stiff every day, given a political earthquake like Scott Brown he ought to be up ten points and campaigning like Germanicus among the Huns.
Instead he is piping inexpensive anesthesia into the meeting halls of the Commonwealth every night of the week.
It doesn't help that both he and Cahill have to run the same type of campaign, heavy on adverts, press availabilities, debate palaver and TV and light on any ground game or GOTV efforts.
Like I said, this one is gonna be interesting...
