The polls showing a three-way race make me wonder who is doing what for gubernatorial candidates. Some endorsements move votes, others are just names for the ads. Is Menino going to reprise his efforts on Relly's behalf when the AG narrowly won the Democratic primary over Lois Pines? Or will he just hold back his organization and offer advice? In a close race, especially if turnout is low, organization counts. This could be to Deval Patrick's advantage as well, if he is putting real work into his get out the vote effort. Harder to measure than donations, but it does matter.
