The Phoenix's very able political reporter is "answering all questions" over on his blog.
So I asked him if there was an early frontrunner in the 24th Middlesex democratic primary...
He had this to say:
I would think Sue Sheffler would be a strong candidate, but the conventional wisdom is that it's a Belmont seat -- Sheffler's from Arlington.
Interesting that Sue Sheffler got tagged as the break out candidate....
If I was Sheffler, I'd hire a professional campaign manager (I can think of at least one woman who'd be perfect for the job, too bad she is out of the game) and appoint full time coordinators for the three Arlington Precincts that are now in the 24th House District. A strong Precinct Captain is particularly needed in the 12th Precinct in Arlington which traditionally has a very high democratic turn out.
So far its a divided race Sheffler is gonna have to tap dance like crazy to pull this off, because as Bernstein points out, it is a Belmont Seat, for the moment at least.
