Michael Flaherty and Tom Menino have both tried everything in the past few months to knock people's socks off. Unfortunately for them, many Bostonians remained thoroughly socked, and some have not even made up their mind yet whom to vote for. Over at the Globe, Alex Beam runs through 10 reasons to vote for either guy. Our favorite? Regarding Menino: "2.

Isn’t his home a local landmark? Throw me in that briar patch!" [Globe]

• Michael F. Flaherty is focused on his campaign theme Tom Menino heads a corrupt administration at City Hall. [Boston Globe]
