Reply #18: They dont want to challenge Brown because they would lose their congressmen seats by doing that

[Mass]

of they lose. Cowardice, that is all that this is. (Capuano said it in an interview: I will run if I can win...).

Interestingly, I heard the same criticism TayTay has concerning Setti Warren, but a good portion of those rising these objections (that are not necessarily wrong), turn out to have somebody they would like to see run, and who is waiting to see if Brown is beatable. What we are witnessing in MA right now is shameful and disappointing: people sitting this election out because their current seat is secure. So, I welcome Setti Warren to enter this race. He is not necesarily the choice I would have made but he is jumping in and fighting Brown, which is more than I can do for the rest of Democratic politicians.
