"[It's] the most evenly split three-way race that I've seen in a long time," said Robert Winters, publisher of the on-line Cambridge Civic Journal. "It's a tough one to call."
"I don't take it as a given that Born's got Decker throughout," said Thomas S. Rafferty, one of the hosts of the political talk show "Cambridge Inside Out."
Winters also said that Decker might vote for these two, even if it angers part of her electoral base, which is largely female and would support a qualified female candidate.
"None of the councillors want this thing to drag out," said Winters, who added that the behind-the-scenes maneuvering was taxing on councillors.
"It's a real kind of twisted balancing act," he said.
