Money is going to be an issue in this campaign. While Jeff has done very well in fund raising, there is never enough especially running against a DA who can get lots of money from attorneys.
The retiring Congresscritter, Bill Delauhunt is sitting on a huge war chest that may go to Keating (although there is some bad blood as Keating took Delahunt’s DA seat when Delahunt was elected to Congress and promptly fired all the attorneys that Delahunt had hired. And also Keating said Delahunt should have prosecuted Amy Bishop for the 1986 killing of her brother which Delahunt grossly mishandled.
Keating will run a very nasty, negative campaign and Jeff will need a lot of money to get his message out.
You are absolutely right that the Dems will throw in a huge amount of cash to elect Keating! My money’s on Jeff and we need to get Free Republic to back him like they did Scott Brown.
Jeff is the real deal...a true conservative who voted against RomneyCare! He’s a man of principle, intergity and humility who is exactly what the Founders envisioned as most qualified to represent The People.
You are right. I just got back from Perry's Sandwich campaign HQ. There were a bunch of us there writing checks. People are pumped.
I picked up the vote breakdown. Of 41 precincts, Jeff took 34. Four more were about even with Malone up slightly. Malone won big only in his home turf of Cohasset, Scituate, Marshfield.
