Soros and company are throwing some serious money behind Josh Zakim (Lenny Zakim's kid) for MA Secretary of State against Bill Galvin. I think Healey is siding with them over Galvin and Bill maybe is fighting back along with some of the local establishment. For those of you that don't remember or know about Leonard Zakim (died of cancer in the late 1990s, he was best known as a 'civil rights activist' active with the Anti-Defamation League. But was really tight with Dukakis, Tip O'Neil, Harsbarger, Bulger, the Kennedys, etc. as a money bundler & launderer. Sleazy lawyer making everything legal and clean for the machine politicians while hiding behind a mask of a do-gooding crusader.
Josh Zakim and Michelle Wu on the Boston City Council both were elected with a metric ton of out of state money. Nice little puppets for the masters of the universe in NYC, Chicago, DC, and LA.
I imagine the more local shot callers aren't happy with out of staters treading on their turf and are backing Galvin.
