TKs reminds me I meant to comment on a ridiculous-sounding column in the Boston Globe today (Thursday, if I can still count it as Thursday). I’m only casually paying attention to the Massachusetts governor’s race –and I’m not huge fan of the lieutenant governor who is currently running ads pointing out that she is pro-choice and for “stem cell research” but the fact that the Democratic candidate’s brother-in-law was an unregistered sex offender doesn’t seem like it is exactly irrelevant to the race. Paired with other odiously soft-on-crime tendencies on the Deval Patrick record, that he wouldn’t think to make sure a member of his family complied with the law seems fair game.
