Is Christy Still In The Market For a Running Mate?

Earlier this month, Christy Mihos, the independent candidate for governor, said he would have his running mate chosen within two weeks. The State House News Service reported on April 10, 2006:
Unenrolled gubernatorial candidate Christy Mihos is planning to pick his running mate within the next two weeks, he told reporters today prior to announcing his new plan for indexing income tax deductions to the rate of inflation. Mihos said he has “narrowed the field,” and jokingly added that he plans to send the names of those in the running to the Attorney General’s office to ensure it is vetted properly. AG Thomas Reilly is also a candidate for governor, whose choice for lieutenant governor - Rep. Marie St. Fleur (D-Dorchester) - dropped out of the race one day after she was handpicked by Reilly when her financial problems were disclosed in the media.
He announced he would be running as an independent about a week earlier than expected, and now he’s a week late choosing his running mate. Perhaps there is some trouble in Christy’s Market.

Hey! Maybe he’ll ask Doug Bennett!
He went to his fundraiser at the 19th Hole in Hyannis!

Every time I hear Christy on Howie Carr, I become more convinced there is nothing to him. He’s just winging it. Howie’s radio show is, like, half of his campaign strategy. Think anybody of consequence wants to ride on that bus? Nah.
Maybe he should pick his dog!

I listened to Mihos on Howie’s show yesterday. Everything is a joke to him and because he’s always dumping on Amorello, Swift and Healey, Howie eats it right up. THe big joke though is his inability to articulate, in detail, any one of his positions. His Prop 1 proposal (increase local aid from 28% to 40% of state’s budget) combined with his income tax rollback and death tax elimination will result in $5 billion added burden but he offers no plan to fund it. Woefully weak!

I agree Joe –
As we’re fond of saying, “It don’t add up.”
