Barros buddy scores
an upset
Republican candidate for
state Senate Ric Barros of
Centerville sounded as elated
about former colleague Sam
Sutter 's success as his own
on the morning after Barros
held off Nantucket' s Doug
Bennett. Barros recalled
sharing a law office on Main
Street , Hyannis with Sutter
before the latter went to
work as a prosecutor with
the Bristol County District
Attorney's office.
OnTuesday, Suttertoppled
16-year incumbent D.A. Paul
Walsh by about 2,000 votes
in the Democratic primary,
sweep ing his home city of
Fall River and his opponent' s
base of New Bedford.
Barros must hope some of
that anti-incumbent magic
will drift eastward.
