General election poll - Governor of Massachusetts

[ron_newman]

The general election for Governor of Massachusetts, as well as for other statewide and district offices and ballot questions, is four weeks from today: Tuesday, November 4.

The candidate favored by a large plurality in our previous DSLJ poll did not win his party primary, so let's see where we stand today.

(Note: like our previous polls in DSLJ, this is not a secret ballot; individual votes are readable by all members of the community)

[Poll #1984605]

All discussion about the upcoming election (for Governor or any other office) is welcome in the comments here.

Two pieces of news on Union Square

Don Law has bought the USPS building. Don Law is the president of Live Nation New England, which runs House of Blues Boston and the Paradise, among other venues. It would be interesting to have a venue of that size in Union Square. I think I'm in favour -- from a purely selfish standpoint, it would be cool to be able to walk to a big concert, rather than braving driving and parking downtown.

The New York Times profiles Somerville (specifically, Union Square) again. This is, what, the fourth or fifth time? We're either officially hip or officially done being hip.

An isolated tornado or even small hail cannot be ruled out for tonight/tomorrow morning.

An isolated tornado or even small hail cannot be ruled out, according to the National Weather Service.

So much for watching the Blood Moon Total Lunar Eclipse.
