The answer seems clearly to be "no," and honestly, it's hard to blame him - two expensive and hard-fought statewide campaigns in three years is exhausting, especially with the certainty of yet another one in 2014. And I think johnk is exactly right with this line: "I would think the people of Massachusetts would want to elect someone who is 'all in', really wants to serve us in the Senate and not someone who gets backed into an election." - promoted by david

Well, I don't know about an "easy" decision. But certainly it's hard to imagine someone more qualified than Frank for the interim position. -Charley

To put in my 2 cents: I absolutely love this idea. Frank knows DC inside and out, and could actually get some things done as an interim, unlike just about anyone else possibly in contention. He and Elizabeth Warren would be the ultimate power couple when it comes to financial issues - how awesome would that be? Plus, he'd be the second openly gay person (Tammy Baldwin (D-WI) is the first), the first gay man, and the first gay person who is married, to serve in the US Senate. Just do it, Gov. - promoted by david
