Well the never-ending MA election/special-election cycle keeps on chugging (thanks Ted). Scott Brown leaning towards running (if he doesn’t it will be a Dem cake-walk. If he does and loses, that would be a big political setback for him). Ed Markey is the only announced candidate. My district Congressman Stephen Lynch is considering running against. And Deval Patrick to announce the Kerry’s replacement today (Barney?). All politics is local.
