Weld couldn't get past a primary even if Brown didn't run.

Honestly, the legislature should just change the law again and save the state a whole lot of money on a statewide special election. The seat is up in 2014 anyway, there's no reason an appointment can't last until then.

It'd look awfully self-serving to change the law yet again to avoid an imminent possibility of a Republican Senator.
I don't think it'll have much of an impact, quite frankly. Yes it does sound cowardly, but still....

No chance in a million years Weld gets past the primary.

Why do you give Weld a difficult chance of even getting past the primary? He does have name recognition from being Governor there.
True, but he's pretty liberal on social issues and I don't think he has the same sort of appeal to conservatives as Brown. Though I could be wrong....

Makes sense. Pubbies are ed unless Weld somehow gets the nomination. Tisei too inexperienced, Healey linked to Romney and doesn't strike me as moderate enough to win a GE.

Winslow doesn't strike me as an X-factor, tbh. Democrats won't be dumb enough to let him get breathing space ala Brown and he's only a State Representative.

Gut feel says it's Gomez as he has the most establishment support.
