I would have been caught off guard if the Globe endorsed Gabs. Patrick is the perfect candidate for the liberal establishment that includes the Globe; he’s young, nice, takes far-left stances but doesn’t have any sort of dangerous mentality that might challange the status quo, and, perhaps most importantly, he’s an articulate white man who happens to be black.

“nor does he have an inspiring presence.”

LOL. Double or nothing?

Of course, the irony is that with the Globe’s declining circulation, their endorsement will have the least influence at a time when the Globe and Deval’s Advocates would like for it to have the most influence.

The predictable endorsement would have been Gabrieli – Patrick’s was a surprise. By the way, what seperates “Reading the endorsement is like reading a smarmy puff piece that says absolutely nothing,” from anything Hub Politics would say about a candidate it supports?

(Correct answer: nothing.)
