From the Somerville News:

Trane concedes, Sciortino wins on stickers

By George P. Hassett

Carl Sciortino's name was not on the ballot yet he still managed to hold onto his state rep. seat today, defeating challenger Bob Trane on a sticker campaign.

A few minutes ago at the Sons of Italy in Medford, Trane conceded the race and told cheering supporters, "We went up against a machine and fought the good fight."

   

Early unofficial returns point to a Sciortino victory. With seven precincts reporting, he led Trane 1,780 votes to 1,472, according to unofficial results.

Dunno, I think Bill Shelton is OK. The guy who keeps writing about old Somerville (Jimmy, I think) is fine too. Part of the problem is that, when a site allows clearly racist and homophobic comments, then it has no credibility.

I don't understand why they switched to moderating comments, but then didn't bother to moderate out the worst offenders.

I don't think racism or homophobia fall under the definition of "worst" for the Somerville News any more than they do for Howie Carr.
