Martha Coakley for President

You heard it here second...okay third after Universal Hub.

Seriously though, the bane of Massachusetts politics is the dreaded Virus Potomacus...in my lifetime a variety of locals both Republican and Democrat have dreamt of summering at Camp David. Some have acted on that dream, some have not, but it is a curiously long list for a small state (with a big heart) jammed as it is against the ocean deep.
Among others there was:

John Volpe (Badly wanted to be Nixon's VP in '68)
Teddy Kennedy (Nuff' said true believer)
Mike Dukakis
Paul Tsongas
Bill Weld (You KNOW he wanted the Senate in 1996 as a stepping stone to glory...)
John Kerry (don't close that book yet kids)
Mitt Romney...
There are others as well...and no doubt more to come.
Martha if you are (somehow) reading this, avoid this dreaded viral infection at all costs!
It is nothing but woe and misery.
