The consultant who helped Bill Clinton win the Arkansas governorship has joined the Christy Mihos campaign.
Dick Morris, a Fox News contributor and veteran of several campaigns, including former Massachusetts governors Bill Weld and Ed King, will oversee strategy, polling and advertising for Mihos, the first announced Republican candidate to challenge Gov. Deval Patrick.

Raccoon, please feel free to ping the Howie list with this story.
Interesting. Looks like Christy is serious this time.
Is Deval Patrick running for re-election? Even if he is, does he have primary challengers?
Ping
I don’t know on either question.
There has been rumors of the state treasurer, Tim Cahill(D) running. He’d be somewhat of an improvement over Coupe Deval. But he’s still a D.
I wonder if Tom Riley will run again. The Kennedy group played some dirty tricks to move him out of the way and make room for Deval.
His base of support is public employee hacks who get jobs through nepotism and by moon-bats. We have plenty of both.
Christy Mihos only cares about Christy Mihos.
Bump for later reading.
sure will, thanks.

You got that right.
She’s doomed.
Christy is a guy.
Dick Morris and Christy Mihos, that’s, ahem, an interesting combination.
Then he's doomed.
Slick Willard prevented a Republican from succeeding him. Mihos was a mere gnat.
Until the MA GOP drives out the remaining leftists keeping it in its current state of advanced decomposition (it’s been dead since 2006) and works on winning offices from the bottom-up with fresh Conservatives (students and other Conservative activists that have either been shut out of the party or have currently given up on the political process), trying to win the Governorship is a pointless and worthless exercise. With a 90% rodent/10% rodent-agent RINO legislature, they’d only be an impotent figurehead.
LOL, yep, he is!
Mitt (yes him) did try to run candidates in 2004, and all of them lost. And the long time moderate Democrats (Marie Parente for example) have been defeated as well in primaries the last couple elections. So as a whole, the electorate has taken a sharp turn to the left in the candidates they elect.
It comes down to voting for the person that will do us the least amount of harm. In this state, a RINO that I agree with 20% of the time is better than scum like Coupe Deval, who not only do I disagree with 100% of the time, but, would rip the teeth out of my mouth and give them to an illegal alien if he could.
Honestly, this state is lost. The rest of NE, with the exception of maybe NH and the governorship of RI is toast. The only Republicans than can even dream of winning are, unfortunately, RINO’s. And at this point even that's extremely iffy. It takes a colossal failure like Coupe Deval to even make it a possibility for any Republican to win, which in itself is again, sad. And to think the American Revolution started here.
Mr. Palfrey Street in Watertown. Ugh, he’s terrible.
Well he did take down “Slim” Jane Swift, so that was good. Muffy would have lost anyway.
Christy does suck, but compared to Coupe Deval, I take him 7 days a week.
Who else is there? Charles Baker, who is heading up the heath insurance BS? I’ll pass.
Dickie Toes likes women. I think Christy is married to a woman. At this time, in this state, ANYTHING is an improvement over Coupe.
I’d take a tri-sexual alien from the planet Zoork if it was conservative (or moderate) at this point.
LOL, I agree, hell, a freakin’ tree stump is better than what we have now!
Deval being Axelrod’s guy, I assume the Won will spend a lot of time in MA campaigning for Deval?
Oh no, I forgot about that...sh*t, I can see motorcades further fowling up traffic.
I just threw up in my mouth a little bit.
Amen, Amen, Amen!!! My computer might explode as I type this, but this ass clown makes Du-kucka look better by comparison. And that’s REALLY hard to do, as you know.
Cahill would be be nuts not to primary Deval Patrick.
“Dick Morris”
Too bad, he’ll have less time to be a pundit.
True - if it weakens Coupe for the general election. Otherwise he’ll (Cahill) most likely win if he takes Coupe out in the [rimary.
I’ll take RINO Christy over any Dem, although Cahill would be an improvement over Coupe.
Keep supporting RINOs and the problems will never be solved. As I said, there’s literally NO point for a Republican of any stripe to be Governor of MA until such time there are enough Republicans to sustain a veto in the legislature.
Why do you say that? I think he’s honest which is more than you can say about most MA politicians.
Do you think Deval is better? I don’t.
Again, compared to the fart that's in there now, sure he looks better, sort of like how Jimmy Carter looks better than Barry. It still doesn't change the fact they royally suck, some suck worse than others. I'd pick Cahill if I have to pick a Democrat.
Dick Morris comes off to me as a kind of political savant. I’d bet he can take on Mihos’s campaign with little impact to his punditry.
I’m amazed he’s like a quasi-conservative now.
