ShareMayor Thomas M. Menino may have won another four more years in office, but whether he’ll stick around for the full term - or try to install a successor - is an open question in the minds of many City Hall savants.
“That’s what he’d like to do,” predicted Michael J. McCormack, a former city councilor and a longtime political observer. “He’d like to pass the baton off to someone else in either two or four years.”

Even if Mayor Menino were to "step it down a bit," he will still prove to be an effective mayor. He has Michael Kineavy and a great administrative staff to assist him.
Boston has made the right choice in re-electing Mayor Menino to another term!

Report AbuseConsalvo and the Mayor just lost the future coronation. With Arroyo and Pressley on the council, combined with Yancey and Turner.
It will be one of them as Council President, so the Mayor can't step down.

ahhhh, in the picture, Menino doesn't even have the decency to help his wife out the SUV .....
Unfortunately Boston voters didn't have too much of a good choice,
it was either vote for dumb or vote for dumber ...

This is why we need term limits to stop the political machines and special interests ..
I hope we shall crush in its birth the aristocracy of our monied corporations which dare already to challenge our government to a trial by strength, and bid defiance to the laws of our country.

Like I said yesterday, Menino will step down before the Boston pension has to be fully funded in 2012. This way his "legacy" will stay intact and his replacement will be the scapegoat.

Did we really need to know that the moron has Crohn's disease? I almost hurled my morning Starbuck's. It's embarassing enough admitting you live in a city/state where the citizens continually elect semi-literate, drunk driving, groping pervert morons to public office. Do we have to throw in a bowel disease that he admits to having???
