I don't know anyone who's not a wonk who's talking about the Massachusetts gubernatorial race right now.  No one sexy is running.  Patrick seems to have a lock on the corner office, while his opponents Charles Baker and Tim Cahill seem destined for the dustbin of history. 

Early interest in Republican Baker and his Log Cabin sidekick has withered, and Independent Cahill has been grabbing headlines with desperate Tea Party tactics.

The latest of which is his condemnation of Patrick as himself partying with terrorists for attending a Muslim forum at the Islamic Society of Boston Cultural Center last week. Said Cahill: "Gov. Patrick should stop playing politics with terrorism and focus onprotecting all the citizens of this commonwealth."

Really, Tim?  Are you really gonna hand Deval such an easy victory?  If there's one thing you can say about Patrick, it's that he'ssnuggly. Yes, as we all know by now, this kitten as claws, butPatrick's never been one, to his great credit, to stoop to scapegoatingto get votes.  He has, in fact, benefited greatly from opponents whohave.

I can only think Cahill must be betting he's going to shoot to Tea Party stardom with this little stunt, and be swept into office in an upset victory over his complacent liberal foe!  Unfortunately, that's not how it works, Tim.  Let me explain, using pictures, why you will not be the next Scott Brown:




Even if you had a truck, Tim.  Even if you had a really, really big truck.
