Newsweek: Healey 'Willie Hortonizing' Patrick

Newsweek's Mark Starr writes in a column on MSNBC's website that the Massachusetts race reminds him of the 1988 presidential race. Republican Kerry Healey, he argues, is 'Willie Hortonizing' Democrat Deval Patrick.

His conclusion:

"It’s a sign of how effective Healey’s latest attacks have been when a man who grew up in the Chicago projects has to compare crime creds with a suburbanite from the state’s affluent town of Prides Crossing."
