His departure will set of a behind-the-scenes race among those hoping to be the next Senate president. Murray, a Plymouth Democrat, is bound by term limits to leave the president’s post in 2015. But some believe she may quit the Senate before that.

Oh, come on...it is never a wide-open scramble in Mass. There will be THE candidate, one other from thecsame party to make it look good, and one from the other party who is too stupid to realize that one lost election ends your career.
