Officers make good dictators because they know and can manage the military; a union man as Mayor may be better suited to keep the union bosses in line. The surge may be conservative voters that see Walsh as the lesser of two evils, less likely to be corrupt, more likely to make tough decision, such as ending forced busing. Menino may have helped Walsh by appearing too chummy with Connolly; Walsh is more likely to have all the locks changed and tell Menino to zip it. With all due respect, of course.
