It's about time that Mayor Menino committed to these debates. Sam Yoon is going to show the city of Boston that he will face the tough questions and the tough critics/cynics out there that still believe that Mayor Menino will easily win re-election. The people will know what Sam is all about in order to move Boston into the 21st century.

Communities of Color Need More of These Programs
Analysis from article:

This is so important to have. This is what I am talking about when I keep stressing a multilateral education plan to keep kids from getting sucked into the vicious cycle of guns, drugs, and murder that has plagued low-income communities of color for such a long time.

So stupid...leaving more children behind...
Analysis from article:

I already made my point about this...so stupid...diverting funds for more charter schools...they are going to leave more children behind particularly special ed and ELL students...placing a quota on special ed and ELL students is just another way of saying we don't value all of children of Massachusetts...

I work right off of Dorchester Avenue. I, too, stroll down Dorchester Avenue to see the many many signs that adorn the windows of the Vietnamese stores. Multiple signs in one store dilute the message. Furthermore, it has been said in previous comments some owners as well as some customers don't even know who they are. That may be correct.
Also, having worked in Chinatown this past year, I know that intimidation is less likely but bribery (like treating residents to lunch) is often done by some Chinatown associations to have them vote for the "machine" politician in past elections. I will not be surprised that this will be the case as well. We are lulled to sleep by a mayor who has been in office for FAR TOO LONG while the rest of the cities in the U.S. progress towards the future. I was in middle school in the Boston Public Schools when he became mayor and now I am almost 30. Mr. Flaherty offers the same "machine-type" politics backed by the Boston Firefighters' Union. It's time to move forward and to stop the political machines. Lastly, if Mr. Yoon is just relying on the Asian vote, he will lose. He's smart enough to figure that one out already.
One postscript...that picture is %$^%^$ up...

Term Limits = Good Idea...So Why Do People Still Go With Mayor Menino for Another Four Years???

I don’t get it. If close to 60% of people want term limits so Mayor Menino can finally leave office, then why is it that the majority of people of Boston still want him to continue to be Mayor of Boston. It makes no sense.

Why Sam Yoon?
Analysis from article:
http://bostonherald.com/news/politics/view.bg?articleid=1184767
Term limits are a necessary tool to guard against stale government. The city of Boston has become so stale and stagnant that most people living in Boston just think that everything is okay. That is Mayor Menino's advantage in this election. If he wins another election, he will keep lulling the people of Boston to sleep until the city becomes so far behind the times that its reputation becomes a more and more laughable and a punchline. I've lived in Boston for almost 20 years with Mayor Menino being the mayor in 16 of them. It's time to move forward.
