According to both Gin Dumcius at the Dorchester Reporter and the Globe’s Andrew Ryan, who says he has two sources confirming the news, Boston Mayor Tom Menino will endorse Elizabeth Warren for Senate at an event in Roslindale tomorrow.
Needless to say (but I’ll say it anyway), this is big news. Menino’s endorsement is one of the few in Massachusetts that can actually make a difference on election day. If he backs her full-throatedly, and puts his political operation into high gear to help her win, that is an enormous GOTV boost in a city where she is already expected to do well.
Don’t forget to watch the debate tonight at 7 on WBZ.

for the Menino-impaired listeners.
David, you forgot your caveat *If Menino supported Scott Brown then his endorsement would mean very little and would not be big news.
has been used against Warren and you know that John, that’s what makes it a story. The Herald has been beating the drum that Menino won’t endorse Warren because he likes Brown, or he’s going to stay silent because he likes Brown. So now that Menino is going to endorse Warren you want to make it something that it’s not.

more hilarity if you follow the link ….
If Menino endorsed Scott Brown it would be a huge deal and an obvious blow to Warren’s campaign.
He tries to find the silver lining in every cloud … and lately, there have been a lot of clouds for his team. Usually, his silver lining consists of throwing some sort of attack toward me, though I’m not sure how that benefits Scott Brown. I’m glad that my opinion means so much to him, I guess.
I may comment or ask, but I never attacked you.
… to the level of ‘attack’, but they are often reactions in the form of a bizarre preemptive accusations of future or hypothetical hypocrisy, often in the context of a hypothetical ‘if it were the other way around you’d…’.
Hard to think of a phrase that describes this technique,… certainly not ‘passive aggressive’ – how about ‘aggressive passive’?
advertise his “bipartisan” reach with Democratic mayors by putting it on his website.
to this is why he can’t be Mayor after this term. Please, OH Please, someone who isn’t a complete idiot start running in late November and me and a ton of volunteers will be with you.
I thought that was the Republican buzzword of the year.
I have been spending too much time fighting Trolls lately, perhaps the snarkiness has infected me.
It is a good word.
Around the time of the conventions, within about twelve hours I saw criticism of the administration by Kristol and then Krauthammer. Then that day Ryan used it in his speech. Then it was in a spam I got from the Romney campaign. Then McCain used the word about Obama’s foreign policy. Then, shocklingly, I see it here, repeatedly, by the Waltham Dan guy, about all kids of things. Except his was just sort of hanging in the air: “feckless, just feckless.”
I thought maybe you got the memo too.
