« Gabrieli: Patrick out of touch with mainstream | Main | Cahill endorses Patrick » Tuesday, September 12, 2006The Herald endorsement historyFour years ago, the Boston Herald endorsed Robert Reich for governor in the Democratic primary. Now, the paper is backing Tom Reilly. At this point in the campaign, every move is over-analyzed, so, hey, here is some more, coming from one strategist: the Herald endorsement is a "bank shot'' actually meant to help Kerry Healey win in November. How so? Follow the ball: The Herald editorial is meant to prop up Reilly's campaign in hopes that he steals just enough votes from Christopher Gabrieli, so that Deval Patrick wins the primary. And she then beats Patrick, who offered his own thoughts on electibility this week. Whew! Posted by at 12:07 PM
