Surprised by the nomination. Easy pass for  or  as far as I see. A lot of the coverage about him comes from the last 18 months while running for governor, sure, but he's got an impressive resume that removes ONEEVENT as a factor. Being notable for only  isn't the same as receiving some coverage for a number of different things before getting a whole lot of coverage for one thing in particular (invoking ONEEVENT doesn't ''negate'' press from that one big event, it just requires some evidence that the person has received coverage for other stuff, too, even if not as substantial). Make all the arguments you want about individual items in the following list not making him notable, the fact of the matter is there appear to be one or more sources about him for each of these -- at least as far as I can tell. These, in combination with the recent election, makes him an easy keep: (1) Selectman (and Chairman of the Board of Selectmen) in Wellesley, Massachusetts; (2) Executive VP at PAREXEL; (3) health care advisor to Paul Tsongas during 1992 Presidential run; (3) health care advisor to John Kerry during 2004 Presidential run; (4) Profiled in Time Magazine in 1979 as one of "50 Faces for the Future"; (5) COO for Blue Cross Blue Shield of Massachusetts; (6) CEO of Veritas Medicine; (7) Board of Directors at Boston Heart Diagnostics. --&mdash
