Q&A #8 -- Capuano's Successor?

"Ben" asks:

"Let's imagine for a second that Capuano takes the senate seat. Besides Joe Kennedy's son and Mike Ross, have you heard rumblings of anyone else laying tentative plans for the MA-8th?"

I haven't, but I have no doubt there are plenty of wheels spinning in people's heads. I've heard people say Somerville mayor Joe Curtatone could go for it. There has long been the thought that Jarrett Barrios would love to run for that seat. Of the current legislators in the district, I would think Steve Tolman might be thinking about it. And my guess is that there are plenty of folks -- pols and not -- in Cambridge and elsewhere in the district who would be tempted.
