"Joe" asks, via email:

Any chance that Steve Pagliuca, despite his last place finish in the Senate primary, might be tempted to jump into the Democratic race for Governor. Deval looks vulnerable, to say the least, and money is clearly not an issue for Steve.

No chance, according to people close to Pags I've spoken to about it. I thought there might be more of a chance of Alan Khazei doing it, but I was also assured that was out of the question. Both have now said they won't -- which doesn't always mean they really won't, but in this case I believe it.
