Shannon explained: In response to numerous O'Brien hack alerts on Hub Blog, a friend writes the following about the Dems' front-runner for governor: "I have an alternate explanation for one aspect of Shannon O'Brien's success. It is BECAUSE she is a hack, not despite it. She is the only female hack in what has been a true all-boys-network, and that is an important gender breakthrough. If she gives the slightest overt impression that she is anti-hack, she'll slide down the chute. This will be less of an advantage with the large undecided/suburban vote in the fall campaign, though not insurmountable." Makes sense to me.
