I did forget about Tierney, a definite B-lister, and Meehan, who’s been out of politics, but I suppose he could come back in. Robert Reich is at UC-Berkeley. Not that he ever crossed my mind anyway. Wierd thing: I see Reich is from the same home town as Joe Biden and Hillary Clinton: Scranton, PA.
Hillary claims to be from Scranton? I know that as a child she would summer somewhere in Pennsylvania (that required her family to drive through NY to get there, or at least so she claimed when she ran for the Senate from NY), but she’s from suburban Chicago, not Anthracite Country, PA.
As for Reich, he ran in the Massachusetts gubernatorial primary in 2002 (finishing second to Shannon O’Brien), and I could see him returning to MA to run for the Senate. Not that MA Dems don’t have dozens of other potential candidates far more prominent than Brown was just one year ago . . . .
