I’m surprised to see folks paying that much attention to candidate’s policy proposals. Don’t you know too well by now that political candidates can promise you everything under the sun to look smart and thoughtful in order to get elected? They assembled teams of policy experts with the goal of getting proposals that will play well with voters and get media attention. They don’t even get involved trying to learn some of it before the proposal goes public.
I think it is better to judge candidates on their record: Patrick on civil rights work and serving on numerous boards; Reilly on crime fighting experience and standing up for the “little guy”; Gabrieli on after school work and business carrier. Then we can get a better sense on what to expect from them. Campaign promises (and proposals) are no more than promises…

And frankly there has been a lot of over-promising in this campaign. But if promises are easy to make, then why isn’t Gabrieli making more?
It may actually speak in his favor… but who knows.
