2. Obama's campaign says they will raise a billion dollars and they probably will, if not
more. His campaign raised three quarters of a billion last time--and that was exclusive of so-called soft money.

And, his campaign is encouraging donations to Democratic super pacs--actually, to the super pac formed for his campaign.

So, we can expect a lot of advertising and the like from both sides.

Usually, Democrats don't spend a lot in Massachusetts, assuming it will go Dem, no matter what. So, what we in Boston see is mostly overflow from ad buys in New Hampshire. And cheap stuff, like robocalls. (Seriously, does anyone really change his or her vote on the basis of a robocall?)

And even the overflow is more than enough for me.

this time, though, we are likely to get it from all sides. Brown's election showed that Dems cannot safely ignore Massachusetts in general--and he himself is up for re-election, versus Elizabether Warren. So, we should hear a lot about that election.

And Mitt (if he is the Pub nominee) was our Governor once, so, between that and the relatively recent Brown victory, the Republicans will think there may be some hope for getting Massachusetts to go for Romney again.

So, I am girding myself more than usual.
