Rep. Michael Capuano (D-Mass.) said over the weekend that he'll decide in the next few months whether to run for Senate in 2012.

Capuano, who unsuccessfully sought the Democratic Senate nomination in last January's special election to succeed the late Sen. Edward Kennedy (D), said he's being encouraged to run.

"I'm considering it," Capuano told WCVB television in Boston. "I'll make up my mind in the next few months as to whether it's something that I want to do, that my family wants to do, and whether it can be done."

Capuano is among several Democrats considering a run to unseat a top target of the party in 2012: Sen. Scott Brown (R-Mass.).

1. Seems Like Brown hasn't offended anyone yet

and that's pretty good for anyone in Massachusetts, which has a highly sensitive, easily offended population, second only to Ann Arbor...:eyes:

2. Capuano should have been the candidate last time.

He is an excellent progressive, a great speaker, a working class background, and a hard campaigner, unlike Coakley, who somehow thought actually doing meetandgreets was beneath her dignity.

4. I was partial to Khazei, but Capuano would have been great too

Khazei had a ground game and Capuano had an air game, but I think either one would have, you know, actually campaigned.

7. Amen!

I liked Khazei's background.

Either one >>>>> Brown.
