Thomas F. Reilly loses Massachusetts governor Democratic primary

From this:
Deval L. Patrick, who rose from poverty on the south side of Chicago to corporate boardrooms and a top post in the Clinton administration, won the Democratic Party primary for governor tonight, becoming the first African-American to win a major party's nomination for the top job in the state.

Patrick far outpaced his two better known rivals, businessman Christopher F. Gabrieli and Attorney General Thomas F. Reilly, with strong showings in blue-collar urban enclaves, in liberal and conservative suburban towns, and in Western Massachusetts. He also swept Cape Cod. Early returns showed Gabrieli running second and Reilly a distant third.
While Patrick appears to be a supporter of illegal immigration and is apparently not as good on the issue as Gabrieli, Reilly was horrible, as the last link demonstrates.

He'll face off against the Lt. Governor of the state, and for a preview of how one of the local rags will approach it see this: Boston Globe does hit piece on Kerry Healey.
