A Few Things

Busy as hell, but I thinks worth pointing out:

If you're a Wong fan, you can't help but love the cover of today's Globe. Donnelly gets a chance to quickly run through his criticisms and throw out the surgeon analogy again, but this is a pretty pro-Wong story. Her campaign should be pleased with that one.

On the other hand, Donnelly's City Council support gets an airing in the Sentinel today. It's a source of strength for him, but doesn't help portray him as a change candidate, particularly when you look at the list of old-school councilors supporting him. However, if those organizations get behind Donnelly hard, it can help make up some of the ground he needs to cover. But the results of the preliminary make you wonder if a lineup of councilors will woo newer voters.

Also, the Sentinel came in with its story on the FRA/Women's Institute stuff on Sunday, if you missed it. It's pretty similar to the Telegram story from Friday (linked in Friday's post). It' s not a momentum-turner, in my view. Donnelly isn't suggesting misuse, abuse, or illegal activity, just questioning some of her decisions and how she promotes her work. He's getting some good ink out of it, though. Maybe if he wears away at it over the next four weeks, he can turn some these vague perceptions into a sudden reality. Or maybe not. But he's got to throw deep, so why not?
