Is there a better word than gubernatorial? On Radio Boston this week we’re interviewing the 2010 candidates for Massachusetts governor. It’s a roster of heavy-hitters: Charlie Baker, Deval Patrick, Tim Cahill, Jill Stein (and Grace Ross, if it turns out her signatures are certified). I’m dubbing it Guberfest. You can catch up on our “Battle for Beacon Hill” page.

All along we’ve been asking you to submit questions. (And as you read here Tuesday, we’ve spent a lot of time figuring out how to better integrate your questions into the show.) Today, independent Treasurer Tim Cahill is in the hot seat.

Cahill is the target of a new wave of GOP attack ads, designed to push Cahill out and give the Republican Baker a clearer shot at the incumbent.

Cahill says he’s only being attacked because he’s doing so well. But maybe not, according to a just-released Rasmussen poll (which WBUR takes seriously, politics reporter Fred Thys tells me). In the poll, Cahill takes 14 percent of voter support to Baker’s 31 percent and Patrick’s 45 percent — a solid 10-percent jump for the incumbent, by the way (but polls don’t matter, he told Meghna.)

Do you see this as a three-way race? With the election a mere six months away, who’s your pick (at least for the moment)?
