For weeks, Jay Gonzalez has been trying to hang Donald Trump around the governor's neck like a weighted tie, four inches too long. This week it was Baker's turn to repay the favor.
Gonzalez and his running mate Quentin Palfrey stepped off the Red Line and up to a podium Wednesday morning to propose, within shouting distance of Harvard Yard, that universities sitting on gargantuan nest eggs should be ponying up.
Little things don't always turn a campaign, but sometimes they do. Massachusetts Democrats on Friday were planning to hold a rally in Lowell for Third Congressional District candidate Lori Trahan. They were missing just one thing … Lori Trahan.
The state party chairman took the hit, saying he scheduled the event (which included Elizabeth Warren and Jay Gonzalez) without realizing that Trahan was planning to be out of state raising money.
