The Globe reports Steve Grossman looked like he was passing a kidney stone in a debate the other night not because he had to share the stage with Gay Hating Guy, but because he was actually passing a kidney stone.

State Treasurer Steve Grossman had some Schweddy Balls today and tweets about the experience:
Latest flavor gets a 5/10. Too much vanilla. Not enough malted milk balls.
You may recall that Grossman made trips to ice-cream places a part of his successful election campaign last year.
The Globe introduces us to the people running for state treasurer this year:
Democrats Steve Grossman and Steve Murphy and Republican state Representative Karyn Polito are vying for the open treasurer's seat by trying to differentiate themselves based on their financial credentials, investment philosophies, and independence.
The results from the state Democratic Convention being held today in Worcester are in, according to Boston.com and twitter feeds (hash tag: #madem10).
As expected, the Governor and Lieutenant Governor received enough votes to put them on the ballot (at least 15 percent) and receive the endorsement of the party (25 percent).
Democrat Steve Grossman uses Twitter to accept Republican Karyn Polito's challenge to debate in the race for state treasurer:
... Let's talk jobs, holding big banks accountable, & protecting people's $. When & where?
Now let's see if Polito tweets back.
Mike Ball reports from today's kickoff speech by the former Democratic moneyman who wants to become the official state moneyman. Ball includes Grossman's platform, which is more than just wanting to sign state checks.
Bonus: Mike reports an appearance by fabled Boston socialite Smoki Bacon.
Steve Poftak wonders: Is Steve Grossman that intimidating? On the Democratic side so far it's Democratic moneyman Grossman and, maybe, Steve Murphy, who seems unable to leave the confines of the Boston City Council. In contrast, the Republicans have three candidates for one of those jobs that makes you wonder why it's still elected.
