Q&A #10: Is Massie For Real?

 "Neal" asks:

What do you think of Bob Massie's candidacy?

Massie of Somerville, the 1994 Democratic candidate for lieutenant governor, is running for US Senate. I think he's got a real chance of appealing to liberals in the primary, but the big question is whether he can build a serious organization (including fundraising) -- which may depend on who else enters the race (and how long it takes them to decide).

I wouldn't write him off as a joke, in other words. Although that said, it's a little odd when most of a candidate's clips are more than 15 years old.
