Welcome to 201k.com - A Commonwealth Perspective.

This morning we got this email from the Gabrielli campaign:

Please vote today!

Today, you have the opportunity to nominate a candidate for governor who is totally committed to getting results - who doesn't care whether an idea is Democratic or Republican as long as it's a good idea.

Chris Gabrieli is that leader - and he's also the leader the polls repeatedly show is the strongest candidate to take on Kerry Healey and end the failed Romney-Healey Administration.

This election is far too important for you to sit out. Please vote today, and vote for Chris Gabrieli to solve problems and get results for Massachusetts.

Can't help but thinking that this email indicates the Gabrielli campaign believes, as we do, that their showing in the polls is not neccessarily backed-up by actual voting bodies. That's the dangers of an all air campaign.

But what really amazes us is his continued reliance on the "Gabrielli doesn't care whether an idea is Democratic or Republican as long as it's a good idea" strategy. We've seen it in his ads, and he obviously believes in it enough to make it the core of this email.

We get that this is an "I'm the most electable candidate" message; what we don't get is why the Gabrielli campaign thought that Massachusetts Democratic primary voters would be attracted to it -- at all, let alone now, when partisanship has reached new highs, and the vast majority of Dems in the Commonwealth would rather drink Drano than entertain "Republican" anything.

Strange strategy. We stick with our prediction that Gabrielli will place a surprise third.
