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.

Heh. During alderman at-large race between Marty Martinez and John Connolly, at the polling place I was volunteering at, Bob Trane kept coming inside and schmoozing with poll workers and voters, even though he seemed to be running the Connolly get-out-the-vote in the area.
