Blogs to Galvin: Stand Up, Already!

Lynne of Left in Lowell is starting to wonder about Galvin. Andy of Mass Revolution Now says, "Shame on you, Galvin." Jan at Below Boston asks, "Who do these incumbents think they are? Royalty?" Massachusetts bloggers may not be unanimous in their choices of candidates, but one thing they do agree on: candidates should show up to debates and forums.

Bill Galvin didn't show up last night in Worcester either, leaving John Bonifaz and Jill Stein to answer questions from the panel without him. The best we've been able to get from the Galvin campaign about why he skipped Medford on Wednesday, is that he wasn't planning to be there in the first place - even though his sudden cancellation sure surprised the Medford Democrats who organized the forum.

Ryan Adams calls Galvin on it, and adds,

Galvin is doing a great job as Secretary of State by not doing anything about ballot fraud, not addressing campaign finance law violations, not doing anything about voter irregularities and not complying with years-old national statutes in voting law.
Add "facing his competition in person" to the list of things he won't do, and Bonifaz will.
