Patrick is Potential

I surveyed the article. It only ruled out Ortiz from a Senate or gubernatorial candidacy, NOT Patrick

Doug Bennett

Bennett is listed in multiple reliable sources as a candidate [1], [2], [3], [4], [5], [6], and is now supporting Winslow [7]. He should be listed as a withdrawn candidate. --Hirolovesswords (talk) 22:32, 23 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Serious error

Currently the last record of the democratic polling table shows Lynch wins 58 to 42; but the results table shows Markey wins 58 to 43. The Dorchester Reporter says it's Markey. User:Sbauman 06:07, 1 May 2013

Gomez image

Is there a picture of Mr. Gabriel Gomez on Wikipedia that could be posted on this article, along with his personal article? - Billybob2002 (talk) 02:31, 3 May 2013 (UTC)[reply]

I checked Flickr and couldn't find any ones we could use. It's difficult to find pictures on new candidates like Gomez. Perhaps could ask his campaign for permission to use an image here. Hot Stop 03:17, 3 May 2013 (UTC)[reply]

User:Yeah 93 just tweaked the pictures nicely to get them to the same size. But now it looks like Gomez is going to eat Markey's head. Can we further tweak them so they are relatively comparable?—GoldRingChip 20:35, 21 May 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Problem is, that to cut the part above Markey's head and then make the heads of relative size, I'd have to cut the same amount to Gomez's top, and it would cut part of his head. If I only cut Markey's top, for some reason (Wikipedia's coding, I don't know) it makes Markey's pic a bit bigger. --yeah_93 (talk) 20:42, 21 May 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Everything's been fixed. Images are now proportioned. --yeah_93 (talk) 00:57, 22 May 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Much better. Good work!—GoldRingChip 02:41, 22 May 2013 (UTC)[reply]

polling table error

Newest general election poll (from Emerson College, 2013-05-20/22 — thank you very much for promptly putting up poll results!) shows Lynch as getting 45%. I'm sure there's a missing cell so that the 45%, D+12%, and 33% just get pushed 1 to the R. But I haven't fixed it, because I don't know where the 22% is supposed to end up.

similarity?

How is this race similar to the 2010 election? Gomez hasn't won yet and if he has another week like last week, he probably never will. Markey is running much differently than Coakley did; by all objective measure, she coasted after the primary until the last two weeks; Markey has been running hard. And here's only been one poll that has shown Gomez within striking distance of Markey. Until the election, writing it's similar to 2010 is just malarkey. 74.69.121.132 (talk) 23:02, 26 May 2013 (UTC)[reply]
