The local Dems are already in full panic mode over Saturday's convention. Deval has already come out to endorse Warren despite saying earlier he'd wait until after the convention to announce his endorsement.
The Dems weren't concerned about this Marisa DeFranco getting on the primary ballot before all the Warren scandals but now they realize that if DeFranco makes the ballot, she might actually beat the establishment backed Warren or at least make it embarrassingly close. So they are now desperate to keep DeFranco off the ballot so that the Warren campaign doesn't have to spend the summer spending their campaign money fighting off a Dem challenger (while Scott Brown gets to kick back and relax).
If there was ever a time to drag Ted Kennedy’s widow out and shock the state by running her...instead of Elizabeth Warren, this would be it. The whole Kennedy family might be against Ted’s widow...but I think Warren’s chances are shot down. If she gets more than 45 percent of the vote against Brown, I’ll be shocked.
