Hi! If you're not in Massachusetts District 5 (the seat recently vacated by Ed Markey), this is not strictly speaking your plot.
There is a debate tomorrow morning (Saturday) for the Democratic primary candidates, which I hope will be watchable at some later time. I'm hoping to figure out who to support in the next week; all that I know right now is that the candidates all present well to someone of my political tastes at first glance, except Clark. (If you want to vote for a candidate endorsed by Martha Coakley who wants to expand legit wiretapping and is likely comfy with the less legit kind, Clark is the one for you. You can thank me later, or don't.) I think the debate might help.
These are the candidates:

http://opendebatequestions.com/ma5/q/#/sort/state_votes/p2/ You can only upvote questions, and they only care about upvotes from people who actually live here (or claim to, be honest). I would, of course, like to see domestic spying upvoted, but many other issues are important too. If you have any thoughts about the candidates, please share them. I would like to be more informed than I'm capable of becoming on my lonesome.
