The Boston Globe carries an intriguing story in today's Metro-Region section to the effect that Lt. Governor Kerry-Healey has been trying to bargain with Boss Christy Mihos promising him a slot on the primary ballot if he drops his independent candidacy for Governor.
My ghod we are afflicted with a particulary shameless and piratical crew at the top aren't we?
So suddenly Kerry Healey is just dyin' wif love for Big Tent Republicanism? She wants to make sure Mihos voice is heard??!!!!
What bullshit pure and simple.
Where was all this milk of human kindness back in 2002? As I recall, both Kerry Healey and Christy Mihos had a hand in forcibly shoving an incumbent Republican Governor, Jane "Jingle Money" Swift right off the primary ballot with NO salt tears wept over her "voice being heard".
Mihos has made a threat that Kerry Healey and the dregs of the local GOP establishment cannot counteract pure and simple.
All this "We want him in the party" nonsense is naught but a surrender to the mere threat of force majeur.
The Globe, ever helpful to the spectre of "moderate republicanism", runs this whole appalling story on the last page of the metro section all but guaranteeing that no-one will see it other than the Chimes at Midnight, Sco and the Blue Mass Group.

Of course, this could be a trick to get Mihos to give up his independent bid, nothing in the above article seems to bind Kerry Healey to giving Mihos access to the GOP Primary. She could easily weasel out of the pledge and blame the betrayal on democrats, gays or the liberal media. She is that craven no doubt about it.
Too bad Jingle Money didn't figure this out about the Romney crew earlier, I bet they'd a backed off and let her run in the primary if she'd a threatened to resign and make Bill Galvin Acting Governor.
Oh well, the road not taken and all like that.
