speaker_9AUDIENCE
We really didn't get a chance in the beginning.
speaker_9AUDIENCE
I was definitely Brian Shortsleeve all the way in the beginning, but because of the early primary, you know, he just didn't make it.
speaker_9AUDIENCE
But I felt like Brian Shortsleeve was going to be, you know, like Charlie Baker.
speaker_9AUDIENCE
But yeah, it's too bad that he, you know, that...
speaker_9AUDIENCE
I don't know.
Anthony BrooksCORRESPONDENT
Amore points to the Republican contenders for governor this year.
Anthony BrooksCORRESPONDENT
Mike Keneally, Brian Shortsleeve and Mike Minogue, who combined to spend millions of their own money.
Anthony AmoreSOUNDBITE_SPEAKER
They're all good men, but they are all multimillionaires.
Anthony AmoreSOUNDBITE_SPEAKER
A person who is not, it's a non-starter.
Mindy ToddHOST
One of the biggest news stories in Massachusetts this week originated here on the South Coast, but it wasn't good news.
Mindy ToddHOST
Sean Oliver, a new Bedford City councilor who was the Republican candidate for lieutenant governor, rolled his vehicle and was charged with drunk driving.
Mindy ToddHOST
That led to a series of consequences for him and for the campaign.
Mindy ToddHOST
Also this week, we reported on a dispute over the new natural gas pipeline plan for Cape Cod.
Mindy ToddHOST
Morning, Jeanette.
Mindy ToddHOST
Morning, Mindy.
Mindy ToddHOST
So Sean Oliver has suspended his campaign for lieutenant governor.
Mindy ToddHOST
Remind us about the back story of how this happened.
Tim WeisbergHOST
mean, just to go with the numbers here, during the primary, the Republican primary that just occurred in September, Mike Minogue got a total of 192,719 votes.
Tim WeisbergHOST
Brian Shortsleeve, 61,388.
Tim WeisbergHOST
So less than 250,000 people cast a Republican vote in the primary.
Tim WeisbergHOST
And that means that it could have been not only Republicans, but also unenrolled people.
Jim CampaniniHOST
Well, what makes this, what put a lot of attention, press attention on this is, you know, Alva is Mike Minogue's lieutenant governor partner on the ticket.
Jim CampaniniHOST
Mike Minogue is Didn't want him, but according, you know, the way the system is set up, the primary system, Alva, who was selected by Brian Shortsleeve, who was running in the GOP primary for governor, selected him.
Jim CampaniniHOST
They ran as a ticket, okay? But Minogue, Mike Minogue got the endorsement at the convention.
Jim CampaniniHOST
Alva... got the endorsement as the only candidate, really.
Tim WeisbergHOST
I think that that upset Mike Minogue.
Tim WeisbergHOST
I think comments that each made about each other While Sean Oliver was the running mate of Brian Shortsleeve, I think that holds some weight still.
Tim WeisbergHOST
And I also think that on Sean Oliver's end, how could he not be upset that when he is the only lieutenant governor candidate on the ballot, that they started actively promoting the idea that he could that voters could write in somebody else.
Tim WeisbergHOST
Instead of just saying, well, we've got somebody on the ballot, vote for that person.
Tim WeisbergHOST
I did all this work.
Tim WeisbergHOST
I went out there and campaigned with Brian Shortsleeve.
Tim WeisbergHOST
When that didn't work, they got mad at me because I tried to make sure everybody was doing the right thing in getting the signatures, the proper signatures, to be on the ballot.
Tim WeisbergHOST
And when they didn't, I pointed that out.
Gin DumciusCORRESPONDENT
He's a New Bedford city councilor.
Gin DumciusCORRESPONDENT
He was actually tapped to be the lieutenant governor b- by Brian Shortsleeve, who lost the primary for governor.
Gin DumciusCORRESPONDENT
So what ended up happening was a shotgun marriage between Sean Oliver and Mike Minogue, who's the Republican nominee for governor, and they haven't really campaigned all that much together.
Gin DumciusCORRESPONDENT
You know, there was some bad blood from the primary.
Jake BaumSOUNDBITE_SPEAKER
Oliver was not Minogue's pick.
Jake BaumSOUNDBITE_SPEAKER
In fact, he ran with Republican Brian Shortsleeve in the primary, but one unopposed when the other candidate didn't qualify for the ballot.
Jake BaumSOUNDBITE_SPEAKER
We spoke with one neighbor who did not wish to be on camera.
speaker_3SOUNDBITE_SPEAKER
He was inches away from the car that I usually park behind.
Tom ShattuckHOST
I think we're going to need a new Republican lieutenant governor candidate.
Alice ShattuckHOST
Yeah, he chose a different way of making his car fly, which is that this is the same lieutenant governor candidate who came in last at the convention, almost didn't get 15%, and along with Brian Shortsleeve and Holly Robichaud, sued the other two candidates off the ballot because they had apparently a fraudulent signature collector.
Alice ShattuckHOST
Yeah.
Alice ShattuckHOST
Yeah.
