footloose and fancy free since she got passed over to head the new consumer investment protection agency. So you can expect to hear a lot of noise about her notional candidacy for the US Senate in the coming days.
Meanwhile there are still persistent rumors out there, that AG Martha Coakley wants another crack at Scott Brown. A lot of that noise is off of pundits who want a nice easy assed victory for Brown in 2012 as well as a core of Hilarytes who'd follow Martha Coakley off a cliff having done so already in 2010.
Of course, Humble Elias' thinking is that the only reason Martha Coakley might be thinking about the US Senate in 2012 is because she has calculated she could not force a favorable decision against Tim Murray in the 2014 gubernatorial primary.
Still and all that, a Warren v. Coakley primary could be interesting they both draw from similar electoral and fundraising cohorts...a good brawl between them might advantage a well positioned third party in that primary though.
Moreover have either of these women measured the thickness of the glass ceiling in Massachusetts politics lately?
Might be a good thing to do before you go off and start hitting town days this fall to shake hands etc.
Just sayin'...
