MA-9 voters want Bill Clinton to campaign after we choose our candidate

By Anonymous - 7/29/10 - 9:17 am

While I welcome President Bill Clinton's interest in the MA-9 race and his willingness to stump and fund raise, I'd ask him and the MA Democratic Party to wait until the people have selected their candidate in the primary before stumping and fund raising - which is to ask the President to respect the will of the people not tilt the field to the incumbent.

We have an important Democratic primary in MA-9 this year. Candidates and campaign volunteers are out canvassing and phone banking for Stephen Lynch, Mac D'Alessandro and Phil Dunkelbarger.

Why Lynch will probably still win in November

Conor Yunits runs the numbers, thinks Southie and disaffected union rank-and-file will still go heavily for Lynch, swamping the lefties of Jamaica Plain:

... If a Wu or Dunkelbarger candidacy is intended just to send Lynch some sort of message that liberals are pissed ... I'm guessing he already knows that. But if liberals actually think they could oust Lynch in the 9th over his health care vote?

Lynch to face opposition from the left again

By adamg - 3/5/10 - 10:37 pm

The Jamaica Plain Gazette reports that Phil Dunkelbarger of Westwood, who ran as an anti-war candidate against Stephen Lynch in the 2006 Democratic primary, is running against Lynch again this year.

Keith Lepor of Roslindale and Vernon Harrison of Braintree are running on the Republican side.

Stephen Lynch: Man of no words

DedhamBlog ponders how Rep. Stephen Lynch keeps dodging debates with challenger Phil Dunkelbarger:

... Dunkelbarger may not succeed in his goal due to Stephen Lynch's 'no information voter' campaign, but Lynch will never get a vote from me and eventually he'll face a tougher race! ...

Ryan Adams, meanwhile, finds Lynch's declaration that a non-binding vote on "staying the course" in Iraq meant nothing, curious:

Jack E. Robinson is running for congress?

Man, he's one of my favorite perennial candidates - how can you not love a guy who crashes his car on the Jamaicaway while calling into WBUR - while denying allegations he was a groper?

Still, who knew that this time he's running for congress in my district, against Steve Lynch? Hey, anybody know what ever happened to Mildred Jefferson?

The quiet anti-war candidate

That would be Phil Dunkelbarger of Westwood, who is running against incumbent U.S. Rep. Steve Lynch largely on an anti-war platform.

How quiet? I live in Lynch's district, and the first I heard Lynch had opposition was this Blue Mass. Group post.
