Governor’s wife backing Michael Capuano
The Bay State’s first lady Diane Patrick will endorse U.S. Rep. Michael Capuano in the heated race to win the Senate seat of Edward M. Kennedy.
The endorsement is a coup for the Somerville Democrat, trailing front-runner Martha Coakley, with two weeks to go.

Gee, this makes perfect sense, the wife of an unpopular governor, unable to move above 35% in the polls, endorses a candidate for Senate that can't break above 16%. Deval has played this cute from the get-go. Notice how his key people were with Cappy from the start? So how does Deval have any credibility left with this move? How about taking another look at Deval's commitment to ethics and government reform. Anyone with eyes in their head knows that strong-arm, thuggish Mayor Mike believes in neither. As the Globe piece on Cappy said last week: "He's no reformer." Deval, a lot of us really did believe in you in 2006. Now this proves how wrong we were. Deval, you (and it is you, not your wife) just lost thousands of votes from those of us you couldn't afford to lose. 'stick a fork in both the Capuano and Patrick campaigns, they're both done.
Sorry, but the post that was in this spot has been removed as it did not follow our guidelines.
