--The state Democratic party is tapping U.S. Sen. John Kerry's brother, Cameron Kerry, to co-chair a committee designed to help them win the one race that has eluded them for more than a decade: the governor's office

Cameron Kerry, an attorney with the politically connected law firm Mintz, Levin, Cohn, Ferris, Glovsky and Popeo, will co-chair the Massachusetts Victory '06 Coordinated Campaign with attorney Katherine Clark, a former Democratic candidate for state Senate.

Tracey Lewis, deputy director for John Kerry's leadership committee, Keeping America's Promise, has been named the committee's campaign manager.

Cameron Kerry served as an adviser and confidant to his brother during his failed 2004 presidential bid. He weighed the idea of running for secretary of state if Democratic incumbent William Galvin had opted to run for governor.

Democrats hold every congressional seat, overwhelming majorities in the state Senate and House, and every statewide post in Massachusetts except for governor and lieutenant governor.

The three Democratic candidates for governor -- Chris Gabrieli, Deval Patrick and Tom Reilly -- will be on hand for the official announcement on Wednesday.

The last Democrat candidate for governor to win election was Michael Dukakis in 1986.

Kerry's younger brother Cameron and campaign field director Thomas J. Vallely, both then 22 years old, were found by police in the basement of this building, where the telephone lines were located. They were arrested and charged with "breaking and entering with the intent to commit grand larceny", but the case was dismissed about a year later. At the time of the incident, DiFruscia alleged that they were trying to disrupt his get-out-the vote efforts. Vallely and Cameron Kerry maintained that they were only checking their own telephone lines because they had received an anonymous call warning that the Kerry lines would be cut. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/John_Kerry

Yah, I was going to ask if they needed a break-in or something.

If the Dems get control of the governorship of Mass, they could truly the state into a worker's paradise.

Are you saying he found a rich widow to marry too?

This is a classic rat family; a an ethnically confused phony Catholic older brother and a burglar younger brother.
If lil frenchie wins it will make the exodus complete. The last decent people up there will run.
