I thought Ray Buckley said
I thought Ray Buckley said he knew who all 24 of his State Senate candidates would be. Seems like a bunch of smoke and mirrors from Beacon street if you ask me.
Baby Jesus
Baby Jesus is running against Ol' McDonald.
But seriously, just because someone who announced a six months ago that he wasn't running reaffirmed that he wasn't running does not mean someone else isn't. And anyway Buckley said he had 20 candidates not 24. Just like Bush and Guinta - you clearly can't count.
