While looking on the city website for the library hours, I came across this notice:

Board Of Aldermen Sets Calendar For Special Election To Fill At-Large Vacancy

SOMERVILLE – Board of Election Commissioners Chairman Nicholas Salerno announced today the dates and deadlines approved by the Board of Aldermen Thursday for the City’s Special Election for Alderman at Large. The election will be held to fill the Board seat vacated when State Representative Denise Provost resigned on October 26, 2006.

Anyone have any links to the candidates?

Why is it that I only have a mailing from Robert Daut, when I have voted in every single election (and there have been many) in Davis Square since I moved here two years ago? You'd think they'd at least want my name for the GOTV operations!

Anyway, I have a hard time seeing Jack Connolly losing.

I've gotten no US mail from anyone yet. (This could just mean that all three candidates know I'm supporting Marty, so they've crossed me off their junk-mail lists.)

Back when I used to work the political game, we'd intentionally scour our automatically generated mailing lists for our opponent's family and their key supporters (finance chair, etc) and cross them off so they didn't get the mailing.

Not only did we save two or three bucks, but the opponent didn't get immediate access to all that glossy advertising.

I spoke too soon. Yesterday I got a direct mailing from Marty.
