Worcester Telegram & Gazette
Sunday, July 25, 2010It is safe to say that if Worcester voters alone decided the gubernatorial race in November -- and if Tim Murray was on the top of the ticket instead of Deval Patrick -- their re-election would be a cinch. This is not to suggest that the governor is a liability, only to illustrate the lieutenant governor's popularity in this neck of the woods.
Having followed Mr. Murray's political career since 1997, when the Telegram & Gazette endorsed him for city councilor, I see him as a formidable asset to any ticket. The newspaper described him, while he was still in his 20s, as a "bright, energetic, first-time candidate with considerable political savvy who advocates sound fiscal leadership." Two years later, in 1999, we recommended him again: "Timothy Murray, a member of the fine freshman class that emerged from the last election, has leadership written all over him." The T&G also supported him for mayor, a job that subsequently led to statewide office.
