2. I don't think Keller is ever fair, but he is, as I posted, sneaky about his unfairness.

Keller loses nothing by calling the last debate for Martha. He would only look bad if he did not. Clearly, she is going to be the nominee.

This morning, I watched a film of his comments about the debate and the clip they showed was of the Patriot's question, as though that were somehow a pivotal part of who should run for Governor of Massachusetts. Why? What was that question even doing in a gubernatoria debate? Because Martha infamously blew a question about Schilling during her contest with Brown and Keller wants to remind everyone of that?


We can agree to disagree about Keller and his alleged fairness.

ETA: And what happened after Martha got it right? Keller said, "You've been prepped." putting her in a no win spot of either letting the comment go or defending herself. I think he very much had Martha's Schilling gaffe in mind when he decided to include that question.

What? A politician prepped for a political debate? (Aren't they all?)

Would Keller have said that if one or both of the other two wannabe candidates had gotten it right?
