Kerry Healey may be doing miserably in the polls, but the gubernatorial race is still very much a live issue in this East Somerville home - notice the defiant, handmade Deval Patrick sign in the front window. We like to think that this photo captures the political awakening of the next generation: Although mom and dad are G.O.P. stalwarts and proudly display their allegiance in the front yard, Junior is struggling to make his dissenting voice heard. Anyway, don't forget to vote.
Funny, at first glance, I thought it was landlords for Healy and tenants for Patrick.
That could be, actually. I liked the youthful political defiance theory, but the landed-vs.-landless dichotomy warms my little Marxist heart.
