One comment to Howie's column notes that in the pic provided there are a couple Cahill-Loscocco signs in the background. On one they had to use duct tape to wipe out the running mate's name, while they forgot to on the other.Can you imagine if this happened to Baker or Patrick--a running mate flying the coop just before the election? Having to wipe out the names of "Murray" (not sure if there are too many signs with his name though; most prob just say Patrick) or "Tisei"?

No, because neither LG candidate has left those tickets. Only Cahill's has, because Loscocco could see the writing on the wall. So Cahill has to use what TV character Red Green calls the handyman's secret weapon, duct tape, to wipe it out!

Local Republicans say Paul Loscocco saw the light when he defected from running mate Tim Cahill and endorsed the GOP’s Charlie Baker yesterday, but Democrats pondered what prompted that change of heart.

“I guess everybody’s leaving a sinking ship,” Roger Dowd, a Framingham attorney and active member of the Democratic Party, said of the Cahill camp.

At a press conference, Loscocco said he pulled the switch because he thinks Baker has the best chance of defeating Gov. Deval Patrick and taking Massachusetts in a new direction.

Loscocco said he could not let his ego get in the way of doing the right thing.

“He just couldn’t any longer look people in the eyes and ask for their support and counter the question, ‘Well, won’t voting for you just be effectively casting a vote for Deval Patrick?’ “ Haley said.

Many political observers agree that it could be difficult for Cahill, already low in the polls, to rebound.

“If the people in your own camp don’t think you can win, I don’t know how you can make the case convincingly that you can win,” McGrath said.
