KingCast congratulates Kevin McCrea for being a catalyst for change in the 2009 Boston Mayoral election.

By Christopher King

Let's face it: Barring Divine Intervention, we all knew Kevin wasn't going to make the final ballot.

Let Menino face this: Kevin McCrea's relentless queries into Boston business-as-usual politics, replete with active and successful litigation (McCrea et al. v. Flaherty et al) created a dialogue that makes it possible for someone to defeat Mayor Menino this year.

If Michael Flaherty works things out with Kevin McCrea, and if Sam Yoon and Kevin both send their voters to Flaherty, Mayor Menino -- who struggled to get 50% of the vote after a recent 70% approval rating -- will be taking a permanent vacation soon.
