BOSTON (AP) — Massachusetts Independent Timothy Cahill has filed a lawsuit against former operatives who recently defected from his gubernatorial campaign, saying they conspired with local and national Republicans to undermine his candidacy.

The lawsuit comes less than a week after Cahill's running mate, Paul Loscocco, quit and endorsed Baker. He said Cahill could no longer win and was filling a spoiler's role that could allow Democratic Gov. Deval Patrick to gain a second term.

Senior adviser John Weaver and campaign manager Adam Meldrum resigned a week before Loscocco, making the same claim.

All three formerly worked on the presidential campaigns of Republican Sen. John McCain.

Timothy Cahill said Thursday that former members of his staff were moles who were actually working for the cadidacy of Charles Baker.

Sounds like GOP SOP.
