I have written a piece for later today on LibDemVoice.org about the senatorial by election in the US state of Massachusetts.

There will be helpful and proper discussion of the issues later on LDV, but there are a few less sensible things that occurred to me while writing.

Firstly – the Dem candidate is called Martha Coakley. Probably best not to refer to the former state Attorney General as Martha “Hokey” Coakley.

Secondly the Republican opponent. Was once a Cosmo centrefold, and is certainly a potential rival to Congressman Studly. Has certainly aged well.

So, this is entirely fluff and not important at all. Read the sensible stuff over on the Voice tomorrow.
