BTW, Patty Murray statement is insane and makes we worry for this Senate seat. They seem about as much in tune with MA than they were when they did the ads for the Coakley campaign (where they fielded generic ads in a local special election). May be Senator Kerry could say a word to Patty Murray and ask her to stop disparaging the existing candidates. If a big name candidate runs, great, but if not, we do not need Brown showing her in her ads.


“As the ground has shifted for us over the past six months and people have been on the receiving end of the Republican agenda . . . it has reenergized a number of people who may have passed on running for election in the past,’’ said Murray. “That’s happening in Massachusetts as well as other states.’’


NOTE to the DSCC. MA elected only Democrats for statewide candidates and for the House. It may have escaped them because there was not a Senate seat to fill, but if somebody is too coward to run against Brown when it is hard, is it somebody we need as Senator? Is that her argument that Democrats should win? Not really convincing for me.

As for Elizabeth Warren, she has even less experience than Kazhei and Setti Warren running for anything. I love her and would have loved to see her run and still would welcome her if she did, but how do we know she has what it takes to run (different than to be a Harvard professor or working for an administration). Does the DSCC really want to put all its eggs in the same untested basket?
