Associated since its beginning with the Brattle St. wealthy, the CCA label spells death for candidates in parts of Cambridge, especially the Italian East Cambridge. It is no surprise that Duehay and David Sullivan, who ran hard campaigns on their own, building up networks of voters and volunteers loyal personally to them, led the liberal pack...
