Would it be Scott Brown? Congressmen Markey or Capuano? Tell us who you think should run.
The Washington Post is reporting that President Obama is considering appointing Massachusetts U.S. Sen. John Kerry as the Secretary of Defense. There was speculation Kerry would become the next Secretary of State. Either way Kerry's move to possibly become a member of Obama's cabinet will open up his current seat.

Romney performed best in the North End Waterfront area, where Obama raised only 50 percent more than the former governor. In total, Boston donors gave more than $357,000 to the two presidential campaigns last month in more than 1,400 transactions. While the state’s voting history may explain some of the lopsided results shown here, it’s also worth noting that president …
