word is, Jay Kaufman, Lexington's stat rep is really giving serious thought to getting into the senate contest. Admittedly he has to move into the district but the feeling is among the serious playas that this thing is wide open and could attract a ten person primary spread.
That makes some sense, there isn't another game in town at the moment, it's a good district for democratic turnout and if the field clusters up, a smart candidate can get seize the nomination with as little as 30% of the vote.
Don't laugh, this is exactly the scenario that got Ed Markey the congressional nomination in 1976.
No..the only thing that might hold a lesser known candidate back is the reputed 100,000 to 150,000 price tag on a serious all-out campaign in this district. Where someone like Diane Mahon can find moolah like that is mystery to me.
