New In The Phoenix -- Senate Sprint

In this week's issue of the Boston Phoenix -- a day early because of Thanksgiving! -- I write about the final one-week sprint to the Democratic Senate primary, after Bay Staters return from the long Thanksgiving weekend.

I also ponder the similarities -- and differences -- between this race and the special election two years ago that put Niki Tsongas into office (but only just barely).

The article is here:
