If we give up Kerry's seat we WILL lose it to Scott Brown [View all]	jsmirman	Nov 2012	OP
I doubt they would run Scott Brown	loyalsister	Nov 2012	#1
I think you are badly underestimating Scott Brown's popularity	jsmirman	Nov 2012	#3
Why is that, do you think?	yardwork	Nov 2012	#40
The poster is right. I live in Massachusetts and don't like Brown. But he has a base of 1 million	bluestate10	Nov 2012	#49
I live in MA too, this was a close race. It shouldn't have been, but it was. I agree with you.	mother earth	Nov 2012	#99
53 - 46 is not a close race.	Warren Stupidity	Nov 2012	#131

I understand, but I think a strong candidate will do fine.	Warren Stupidity	Nov 2012	#141
Was Coakley aloof? That win gave the rethugs in the Senate enough of a majority to	mother earth	Nov 2012	#142
she refused all advice to get out and work for it.	Warren Stupidity	Nov 2012	#144
Sure was a "lucky" win for the GOP. nt	mother earth	Nov 2012	#145
He sure is. Brown got over 1.2 million votes and almost a million when he beat Coakley.	bluestate10	Nov 2012	#47

Not only will he run, he will win.	chelsea0011	Nov 2012	#8
If not for senate, then at least for governor.	TheCowsCameHome	Nov 2012	#14
Oh Please NO!	sheshe2	Nov 2012	#28
A special appointment from the Governor's seat make more sense. Tim Murray, a very good	bluestate10	Nov 2012	#51
Oh yes they would- he is not unliked here.	Marrah_G	Nov 2012	#30
Brown has proven an ability to win a statewide election, has an organization, and can raise money.	hughee99	Nov 2012	#42
He's planning to run if the seat is open	NotThisTime	Nov 2012	#92
I don't think the Suprememe Court issue has gone away. n/t	left on green only	Nov 2012	#136
I doubt Team Obama would create that risk without a contingency plan	CakeGrrl	Nov 2012	#2
Why? They handed the AZ governorship to the right-wing...	David__77	Nov 2012	#6

The naked guy just LOST, acted like an IDIOT, and MIKE CAPUANO could BEAT him.	RBInMaine	Nov 2012	#5
Capuano seems content where he is.	TheCowsCameHome	Nov 2012	#15
He couldn't win a primary	chelsea0011	Nov 2012	#19
Didn't Capuano run against him before and didn't even rate in that election airc? I love Capuano	sabrina 1	Nov 2012	#41
Couldn't the Dem legislature just change the rule back so the GOV could appoint someone? nt	aaaaaa5a	Nov 2012	#9
Kerry is a good man, but he is needed in the Senate. Agree: bury Scott Brown. nt	Bernardo de La Paz	Nov 2012	#10
We need another show-stopper candidate to run for Senate	rox63	Nov 2012	#11
Capuano ran in the 2010 Senate race already and no one even remembers apparently.	sabrina 1	Nov 2012	#45

I voted for Capuano as well	rox63	Nov 2012	#89
I like the young Kennedy in two years if he shines in the US House. He would be unbeatable	bluestate10	Nov 2012	#53

I wonder if the electoriate of Massachusettse likes Rachel Maddow as much as they do Scott Brown?	left on green only	Nov 2012	#137
IMHO...	ReRe	Nov 2012	#12
You don't live here. I do. We have only one person that could beat Brown, maybe, right now. nt	bluestate10	Nov 2012	#69
Yeah, I don't live there.	ReRe	Nov 2012	#74
Brown will definitely run; however, don't forget Bill Weld moved back to MA	Justice	Nov 2012	#13
Weld would lose to a number of democrats. Scott Brown may be can be beaten only by Patrick. nt	bluestate10	Nov 2012	#54
Unless Deval Patrick will run for Senate, I have no desire to appoint Kerry to the cabinet	OmahaBlueDog	Nov 2012	#16
I agree with Lugar	jsmirman	Nov 2012	#22
Brown has a base of 1 million votes. Even Patrick would struggle to beat Brown right now.	bluestate10	Nov 2012	#56
Maybe, but putting politics above country isn't where we want to be. If Kerry's the best man ...	Scuba	Nov 2012	#17
Yes, in a perfect world.	MrSlayer	Nov 2012	#57
I'm not in this to beat the Republicans. I'm in it to make America great.	Scuba	Nov 2012	#71

who can beat Brown other than Patrick? WHO other than Patrick? I live in Massachusetts too.	bluestate10	Nov 2012	#58

Wow, the fear of Scott Brown is strong.	ProSense	Nov 2012	#20
Warren was ultimately perceived by the Massachusetts electorate as a GREAT candidate	jsmirman	Nov 2012	#21
What are you going to do if Kerry doesn't run in 2014?	ProSense	Nov 2012	#23
I'd certainly prefer the seat be up in a normal reelection rather than a special one	jsmirman	Nov 2012	#34
Good point - Kerry might retire	democrattotheend	Nov 2012	#24
Warren is a special candidate, she won by less than 200,000 votes. Look, I am sorry for this after	bluestate10	Nov 2012	#59
Wait,	ProSense	Nov 2012	#61
Two reasons. First, Massachusetts Democrats are tired. Second, we will have a deeper bench in 2014	bluestate10	Nov 2012	#67
