Now that Massachusetts is being called for Hillary Clinton, credit has to go to Mayor Menino and Congressman McGovern who collectively have the best political operations in New England. National pundits, in a tizzy over Ted Kennedy’s endorsement of Barack Obama, overlooked the support of McGovern, whose organization in central Massachusetts is so strong. Even further overlooked was Mayor Menino, whom I’ve always said, has the strongest political organization east of New York City.
The results also have to be viewed as a rebuke to Deval Patrick, who failed to deliver MA to his ally Barack Obama.

Did you notice that Obama won Boston? Looks like the Menino machine needs some oil.
