Today’s Boston Herald<\/a> posted a story on a primary election victory by Republican Jeffrey Perry, who will be facing Democrat William Keating in the race for the seat being vacated by U.S. Representative William Delahunt (Tenth Congressional District in Massachusetts).<\/p>\n

Representative William Delahunt decided not to seek re-election after a controversy arose over his handling of the shooting case involving Amy Fisher while serving as the Norfolk County District Attorney.  The Republicans have targeted that seat for a pick-up, so the race will receive a lot of press.  Jeff Perry received 61% of the vote in a field of four candidates.<\/p>\n

However, Massachusetts is not a reliable Democrat state right now.  People are angry at the people in Washington who don’t seem to be listening to them–both parties are angry with their representatives, and anything could happen in November.<\/p>\n

There were a few other victories in the Massachusetts primaries last night that bear watching.  In the Fourth Congressional District (seat now held by Barney Frank), Sean Bielat received 60% of the votes in the Republican primary.  In the Third Congressional District, newcomer to politics Marty Lamb received 31% of the votes in a five-candidate field.  He will run against Jim McGovern.<\/p>\n

Everything is Massachusetts has changed since the election of Scott Brown.  November is going to be interesting.  Neither Democrats or Republicans can afford to take anything for granted!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
