Wasn’t there an article recently (I’m presuming Howie Carr, but it might’ve been somebody else) pointing out if Coakley gets elected to the Senate, it’s going to cause a real headache of the rodent whores trying to get appointed to the seat (possibly giving the GOP an opening for next year) ? If Brown loses to Coakley, he might try to run for it. The last Republican to win the AG position in MA was Elliott Richardson in 1966 (he actually gave up the Lt Governorship, figuring AG was a better place to go for higher office — his predecessor as AG was Ed Brooke who made the leap to the Senate from that office the same year).
Yes, Howie did write about that scenario. I think Scott is more valuable in the Senate (US or MA) than as AG.
We’ll see...
