Howie Carr's campaign trying to get Deval to debate Healey one on one

V

Varulven

Equal time? Howie Carr is using his chump line to benefit Kerry Healey. Give Deval Equal Time to say why NOT to have a one on one.

October 20, 2006

Mr. Deval Patrick
Deval Patrick Committee
56 Roland St.
Suite 100D
Boston, MA 02129

Dear Mr. Patrick:

We just completed the third of five statewide debates among all four candidates for governor. Grace Ross and Christy Mihos' participation in these televised debates has and will afford them ample opportunity to make their respective cases to the voters. Unfortunately, with four candidates on stage and limited time, a wide-ranging policy discussion has been largely crowded out.

I challenge you to a one-on-one, prime time debate so that we can have a broad policy discussion focused on the key issues. You have never struck me as someone who backed down from a challenge, so I’d be surprised if you chose to stand on the sidelines now.

I look forward to hearing from you soon.

Best regards,

Kerry Healey
 
I'm glad people booed her when she basically said "No one cares about those two, why can't the debate be with just us?"

Yeah, slight exaggeration of her exact words, but it was clear that's what she wanted to say.

GO DEVAL!
 
Muffy is hoisted on her own pitard.

Ms. Ivy League Lock Jaw from Prides Poloponies should be careful next time what she prays for.

Muffy's "preying" on Deval Patrick is catching up with her and she has no place to go. She is preaching to the choir on WRKO and on Severino and Graham Crackers and their listeners are known to and have no influence on Deval Patrick.

Can't wait for November 4th when WRKO's morning "Wizard", the alien and non voting citizen, DePetro, the Carr crash, the duke of Long Island and the Graham of crackers choke on the election results.

Champagne anyone ?
 
Casablanca - please tell me where that post, the one just above this one, has anything to do with Boston radio?
 
(I know it's a TV comment but anyway)... it's humorous that Emily Rooney on Greater Boston said the same thing--that only Patrick and Healey should debate... and there she was as a panel member the other night with all four people.
 
How would the world exist without a good dose of hypocrisy. ;)

If you want to read an enjoyable screed on the Gubernatorial race (if the winner of a mayoralty race is a mayor, why isn't the winner of a gubernatorial race called a guber?) check out Michael Gee's piece available Romenesko's media site: http://www.poynter.org/column.asp?id=45...then go to Dan Kennedy's blog (WARNING WARNING strong language may offend some readers!).
 
Deval is scared to debate a taller woman. I hope you all like "change"... Cuz thats all you'll have after he taxes everyone to death, but then most of you still live with mommy so stuff like taxes dont matter.

As to tall, it is hard to tell where Kerry Healey leaves off and her polo pony begins. Hay? :D

In fact, both Kerry and her pony should be in one of Carr's 'separated at birth" columns.
 
If you disagree with Healy's politics, don't vote for her. No need for snide comments about her and the horse.
 
Mickey, due to Kerry Healey's negative ad campaing we'll cut Casablanca some slack...and also due to the fact that it was pretty funny.
 
Whatever side of the aisle you're on, stick to the issues. Political talk on the radio would be much more important if they stuck to the flippin issues

This poster's response while not politically correct was in response to 'kneegroaner's' defining Deval Patrick by his height v. Kerry Murphy Healey. Last time this poster looked both candidate's feet touched the ground and that is all that mattered. The reference to Ms Healey's polo pony resemblence was inappropriate as kneegroaner's to make the point that such ad personam attacks may make one feel good but have nothing to do with each candidates stance on the issues.

Hate Jay Severino's inappropriate attack on Hilary Rodham Clinton as a "fat cow". More than anything it is not true. She and Laura Bush have about the same figures and what does that have to do with anything.
