Once a week or so

the Boston Globe runs it's requisite "Senatorial race bummer article".
They review the low star wattage of the democratic aspirants for Scott Brown's seat and then note that Rep. Mike Capuano has not yet clarified his status.
You wouldn't mind but they run this damn thing once a week.
It has gotten so bad that Joan Vennochi tried to coax AG Coakley into the race yesterday. All I can say to Martha is, "Don't fall for it" the Globe's punditariat just want an easy election full of snarkage and nice Brown blowout for them to write their usual "Death of Liberal Massachusetts" obits.
Me?
I don't know who to tempt into the race, the people I like are all either dead or out of the game.
Although, Senator John Olver has a nice soporific ring to it...
:D
KIDDING!
Geez!
You guys take this waaa-ay too seriously.
Honestly, Humble Elias is of two minds, he'd like to see a serious high name recognition Maacher get in, if for no other reason than to ensure that the critical weapon, money will be in good supply.
On the other hand he also thinks that there ought to be a full and fair debate within and without the democratic party as we move closer to this campaign.
And sometimes that means turning loose a lot of rookies and ambitious minor leaguers and seeing what comes up...

Who knows? Less well known back benchers have caught fire over night.
