Globe endorses Shannon: To nobody’s surprise, the Globe has
endorsed Shannon O'Brien, who’s described as “pure drive, with a will to win and a can-do attitude.” In other words, she can beat Mitt. The Globe mentioned why it didn’t endorse Tom Birmingham, indicating he was the paper’s second choice. What's surprising is this: There was no mention of Robert Reich and Warren Tolman in the Globe editorial. Not a word. They weren’t just dismissed, they were ignored. Yikes.
