Phony issue: The Herald’s Wayne Woodlief has it right: Shannon O’Brien’s critics are dead wrong about criticizing her handling of the state’s pension system.

And O’Brien is getting a bum rap. Woodlief also makes clear what should have been clear long ago: O’Brien is one tough cookie. She’s the odds on favorite to win the Democratic nomination -- and Mitt had better be worried about that.
