Capuano to Run

Per the Chronicle, citing the Dorchester Reporter:

Report: Capuano to run for Kennedy Senate seat

If the former Somerville mayor indeed runs, it would end a six-term stranglehold on the 8th District seat. C-port (and the rest of Cambridge, Somerville, Chelsea and the two-thirds of Boston that make up the District) will have an open seat in 2010 for the first time in 12 years, since Capuano succeeded Joe Kennedy.
