After Senator Kennedy passed away and even before that when I think we knew he only had so much time left, Joe’s name has been mentioned a lot in connection with this seat. For many he seemed the logical heir apparent to this seat and some MA pols, most notably Marty Meehan, said they wouldn’t run against Kennedy.
Now, presumably, the floodgates open. Rep. Lynch and AG Coakley are already in the race. Reps. Tierney and Capuano seem like the best candidates among the House Reps.
