I live in Cambridge, where I will suffer the externalities of your decisions without having any say, but I'm not really sure what that say would be. I'm naturally inclined to dump Menino as his tenure's gotten stale - there's something to be said for a vital city politics as an end in and of itself, beyond petty challenges to individual projects. Moreover, I love the idea of Sam Yoon symbolizing the death of old Boston, which has always alienated me and probably a lot of people from the area.

But policywise, I worry that Yoon would just accelerate worrying trends, like the balkanization of urban development approval into panels of activist NIMBYs (euphemistically referred to as "the community," as always). He claims he'll balance this with long term visions for the city, but this promise is far emptier content-wise than his concrete proposal to bury the BRA.

Mayor Menino - shrug
Mike Flaherty - more of the same... but worse
Yoon - Rent control? Moron.

McCrea - only guy running without an office in City Hall. He's made good money and been successful in the real world, so how hard can it be to be successful in government?

Menino will win with around 60-65% of the vote in November. So if you want to vote with the losers, then throw your vote to the ultimate loser, it'll make the loudest statement.

Menino needs to go. The alternatives arent much better but we gotta kick this dude off his pedestal. So Flaherty I guess? Hope he gets booted after first term.
Voting against Menino and possibly for a worst canidate might be a means to an end.
