Any Mass delegates to the convention - consider Gabrelli
Edited on Sun May-21-06 04:12 PM by debbierlus
Consider a first round vote for Gabrielli....

I have spoken to the campaign twice and to Chris Gabrielli once. He makes a lot of sense, he is very articulate, and I think he might be a very good person for governor.

I am NOT telling anyone not to support Patrick, if that is their choice. I would, however, like to see Gabrelli in contention for the spot on the ballot. He needs to garner enough first round votes of delegates at the convention.

I am disappointed in the democrats who have been trying to keep Gabrelli off the ballot by ACTIVELY trying to stop support for him. I though progressives wanted DIFFERENT, MORE INCLUSIVE RACES.

I was most impressed with Chris Gabrelli and I believe he deserves a chance to run.

Forgive me. Posted this on the main board. I will move it to the Massachusetts board. Sorry

(self-edit)!

1. Why are you impressed?
All I hear him talking about is "charter schools", or vouchers.

What about JOBS??? and Affordable housing?

:shrug:

2. No absolutely not. I will not vote for him at the convention.
i Know he is trying very hard but where was he at the beginning of the season? He hid so that Riley would pick him as Lt. Gov. When Riley double crossed him he threw a tantrum and decided to run. I don't trust him and I am going to vote for Patrick with pride. Under no circumstances do I want him to be gov of Mass. I don't want him put on the ballot. Patrick is ahead in the convention, and I want him to stay there. If they put Gabriellia on the ballot I will protest. What the hell do we have a convention for? I am sick of the back door candidates sliming up the joint. Gabriellia is another Rosie Ruiz. Remember her?
