1. Emily Rooney is doing something on him.

Saying he came in 3'rd against Coakley.

Scott Brown not "shaking in his boots" about Alan

Damn... we need someone with name recognition, someone as progressive as this guy, but we don't have any.

Why not Capuano?

2. I don't doubt Sen Brown isn't scared

and maybe he's right, I'm doubtful he could win but I wonder if his name recognition problem from the last time will be such a hurdle this time.

Capuano I like but he isn't exactly a statewide household name either. I'm not sure either of them will win over the unregistered and 3rd party registered voters that Brown won over last time.

3. I agree with you about Capuano.

I also like him, but he doesn't have statewide name recognition at all. Sadly, I also think he might be too urban and too 'populist' for the folks in Western Mass.
