Who is Pagliuca ? Is he even a Democrat?

(aside the obvious, that he is one of the Celtics owners)

I heard this morning that he was presenting himself as a Democrat, but he gave to Dubya in 2000 and Weld in 96 and Mittens in 93?

Is he a serious player in a Democratic primary?

1. Works for Bain Capital

Probably had to give to Mittens to keep his job. Dunno about Chimpy or Weld. In all fairness, he also gave to Obama, Clinton, Kerry, Kennedy and a host of other Democrats.

I'm still trying to decide between Coakley and Capuano.

2. Why would one vote for a Dem that supported Romney over Kennedy

in that Senate race in the 90's???

3. Worth $400m? That buys just about anything.

Unfortunately...........

4. Not necessarily, or Chris Gabrieli would be governor of MA.

But he already has ads on the air. Just what we need, a Democratic Mitt Romney. Hopefully, he is so unknown and has so few accomplishments in the public arena that people will see through his game quickly.

5. I have to agree with your hope. This is just a wolf in Democratic

tailored suit clothing... a Romney with a different tailor.

6. He seems to be the first one running commercials and I thought he was a Repub until the end

at the very end the text says "Steve Pagliuca: Democrat"

but everything that comes out of his mouth screams that he's a corpratist trying to figure out how to fool the Bay State into electing him to the senate. Utter nothing bullshit.
