Doherty to Announce Big News Tomorrow
Ron St. Pierre has tweeted, within the hour, that Col. Brendan Doherty will appear on WPRO's (630 AM) Buddy Cianci show tomorrow at 4 pm to make a "'big news' announcement". (h/t Jon Pincince, who wonders if it might be just about the biggest news possible, a change from the First to the Second district Congressional race).
UPDATE:
OK, I may have gotten carried away here. Ted Nesi of WPRI-TV (CBS 12) just posted an item to his blog, with the details of a Bobby Farrelly fundraiser to be held in Rhode Island for Brendan Doherty. Could this be the big news?
UPDATE II:
On the other hand, at least the Phoenix and the Projo have already carried stories about a Farrelly Brother fundraiser for Colonel Doherty, though without a specific date being settled. Would locking down a fundraiser date qualify as "big news"?
That would be great because as of now,Langevin has a free ride.
Also,it would be good if Loughlin and Doherty didn't have to face off with each other-they are both excellent people.
Ditto everything Joe said. And Langevin's prior opponent, Mark Zaccaria, has graciously encouraged Colonel Doherty to do so - so there would be no complication of a primary from that quarter.

Even if BD loses, his profile is raised and Weldon would be exposed as the racist, D-hack he has always been. Then two more years of raising money for the seat he should hold, governor.
Posted by: dave at October 3, 2011 7:59 AMBig news to announce a fundraiser!??! Wow, what about a policy announcement? Now that would be news, Doherty actually having a position on an issue - this guy is just all about money and shame on WPRO for aiding and abetting!
