Fifth
WBZ ran the debate this morning between the five candidates in the Democratic primary for the Massachusetts Fifth.
Another debate is slated for tomorrow, hosted by the guy who used to hold the seat, Marty Meehan.
But who's actually paying attention? Not too many folks, according to the Lowell Sun, which did a super-informal survey: "The whole idea of the summer is to get away from bad news like what's going on in Iraq and the lack of health care. We prize our summers in America," said Jeffrey Gerson, a professor of political science at UMass Lowell. "For your average citizen, it's just not resonating or getting on their radar screen."
Bad news for Rep. Eldridge: "Just 36.7 percent identified Jamie Eldridge as the candidate pushing hardest for single-payer health care."
Maybe this item in the Lawrence Eagle-Tribune will help. (Though probably not.)
The Lowell Sun's Sunday political column also has a few Fifth race items, along with more folks possibly jumping into the race to succeed Robert Havern in the state Senate.
