3. Only looking very quicky, I would vote for Kerrigan over Cheung, but that's only preliminary.

Cheung clearly is qualified by education and is running to the left. Claims to want a more "progressive" tax structure in Massachusetts. However, he is also a venture capitalist who ran in Virginia as an anti-tax Republican. Did he have a change of heart after moving to true blue Massachusetts or is he just trying to say things that he thinks will fly in blue, blue Massachusetts? I am not a mind reader, so no clue.

Kerrigan looks like a career politician. I have some mixed feelings about that, but he has had some positions within the party where he had significant responsiblity.

I am not a big risk taker. At least I am sure Kerrigan is not a Republican at heart in Democratic drag. So, until I learn more about Cheung, my pick is Kerrigan. I'll start a thread looking for more info about Cheung.

Did Lake drop out of the Lt. Gov. race? merrily Aug 2014 #4

I think he's still in. Not sure why I dismissed him. I agree, a Dukakis endorsement is good. nt valerief Aug 2014 #8

So far, looks like Healy for me for AG merrily Aug 2014 #6

I see Tolman's a Fox analyst, so, yes, Healey. And I just read this about Goldberg (for Treasurer): valerief Aug 2014 #9

Welcome. I googled and came up with a few news stories, but ballotpedia was helpful. merrily Sep 2014 #10

Treasurer is still a close one for me. merrily Sep 2014 #11

Is that why you like someone who works for FOX? merrily Sep 2014 #14

Someone who appears on local Fox 25? Capt. Obvious Sep 2014 #18

Good call on Tolman. Seems sexist, too. merrily Sep 2014 #16
