He’s already on his second term and I see no reason for him not to complete it. Regardless of who it is I don’t see the Treasurer’s office as a stepping stone. He’ll likely fall into the same trap as Shannon O’Brien if he tries. In 2002, she made a great case I thought for why she should be re-elected Treasurer. The only problem was that she was running for GOVERNOR, which it seemed she was doing only because others thought that she should.

He definitely didn’t get a primary challenge and may not have had a GOP challenge. It’s tough to lose when you’re unopposed! I don’t have reason to believe he’s been a bad Treasurer, but the prospect of his running for something else doesn’t excite me.
This is Deval Central. Jesus would struggle to beat Deval in a poll here. Nothing against this place or its contributors, but let’s not fool ourselves. This is not an endorsement of Cahill, but I am generally enthusiastic about contested primaries, particularly in our state.

Sab – could Obama beat Deval in a BMG poll?
<
p>I figure Barack “Double Charter Schools” Obama would get my vote…but possibly lose Pablo “Anyone But Caroline K” for the same reason….

p>Perhaps become the swing vote of the BMG educrat commentariat….and hell, you’d probably wouldn’t even vote and instead write in Bill “My aide took the $, not me” Richardson!
not for higher office is my vote
