BOSTON -- As the Democratic candidates for governor head into the last weekend of campaigning before the primary election, they hammered the issues they hope will bring them the most votes.

NewsCenter 5's Janet Wu reported that candidates are pitching what they believe is their best selling point with only four days left on the calendar. For Deval Patrick, it's a ground war -- putting into place the vaunted field organization that he began building 18 months ago. For Chris Gabrieli, it's still an air war, but he said he's not happy that he has to defend himself from attack ads launched by Republican Kerry Healey instead of his Democratic opponents.

"I now obviously have the extra challenge to convince (the voters) now that the (Healey) attack ads before the Democratic primary is not a sincere effort to inform them of information that they need to know, but a sincere effort to beat me on Tuesday instead of waiting to see if she can beat me in the general (election)," Gabrieli said.

Tom Reilly showcased his support from victims of crimes, including Debbie Eappen -- who said she is grateful for Reilly's prosecutorial skills and compassion. But his strongest message on Friday was to his opponents -- Democrats and Republican -- calling them millionaires who are bored and looking for something to do with their lives.

"They're completely out of touch with the struggles of average, working families. And you see what is going on now with the TV ads back and forth with two millionaires squabbling and arguing back and forth on the stock dividends and investments and this and that. Let me tell you this -- that's not what this race is all about," Reilly said.

"Listen, I'm blessed, no doubt about it. But it hasn't always been this way for me. I was brought up, as they said in the old neighborhood, 'on the rough side,' and have worked my way forward. I've taken advantage of the opportunities I've had and, frankly, I'm in the race because I want to make those kinds of opportunities available for many other people," Patrick said.

The emphasis for Patrick this weekend will be getting the right people to the polls. He said 400 coordinators will lead his teams throughout the state on Tuesday.

Reilly and Gabrieli are battling for votes in southeastern Massachusetts by visiting nearly every major community there over the next three days.
