Nearly 49-point margin for Mayor Michelle Wu over #JoshKraft exceeds the 34-point Belichick deficit comfortably. 🤣

Unofficial #BOSMayor vote tallies look around 90-91k. Blank ballots not reported yet. That puts us in the 20-21% turnout range.
Last week, TCU demolished Bill Belichick's UNC by a score of 48-14. A 34-point deficit.
Today, will Mayor Michelle Wu defeat #JoshKraft by more or less than the ignominious Belichick 34-point margin?
(I'd predict more.)

Nothing says "I'm only marginally relevant because I'm my daddy's son" like having your daddy come out to plead with people to support you.
Not great optics, Josh. 😬

TIRED: Josh Kraft doesn't know in which ward he lives.
WIRED: Josh Kraft doesn't know of which city he's running for Mayor.

I'm sure that Josh Kraft has his financials all ready for sharing at his home in... whatever ward he lives in. 🤷♂️ 😋

What happens when a dilettante with family money runs for office, but lacks a grasp of the issues:

Also I *love* this @senatorledwards.bsky.social line:
"He doesn’t know the meaning of the words he’s using"

Wild bit here from the Emerson #BOSMayor poll. "61% think the MBTA is heading in the right direction, 39% wrong track." emersoncollegepolling.com/boston-2025-...
1/2 Husband of @AnnissaForBos, Doug George, just called me to ask if I am voting in Tuesday's election. I told him no, that I have moved, but if I hadn't, I would be voting for @wutrain bc I was disappointed in Annissa accepting $ from the police union. #bospoli #bosmayor
