From the NY Post:Mayor Bloomberg has dispatched the head of his get-out-the-vote operation and a team of top aides to Massachusetts to push for votes for a candidate who hopes to replace the late Ted Kennedy in the Senate, The Post has learned.
About a dozen operatives shipped out in recent days to support Democratic hopeful Alan Khazei, who is running in today's four-way special primary election for the chance to assume the storied seat.
The Bloomberg operatives are covering zones statewide, with door-knocking and phone- banking.
Bloomberg has also hosted two events for Khazei, raising about 15 percent of the campaign's cash overall so far.
The endorsement:
"Massachusetts has big shoes to fill. Our country needs someone with an amazing record and new, bold ideas that can move the country forward. I know Alan is that person."
MOVE BACK TO BOSTON IF YOU CARE THAT MUCH ABOUT MASSACHUSETTS.
