Gerard Leone says he may run for US Senate

Middlesex District Attorney Gerard T. Leone Jr. is giving “serious consideration” to running in the special US Senate race to fill John Kerry’s seat, he said Saturday.

Leone, 50, said he has received encouragement from friends and political allies to jump into the Democratic primary campaign — a race that already has two Massachusetts congressmen, Edward J. Markey and Stephen P. Lynch, battling for the party nomination. The primary will be held April 30.

Let's see, he didn't have the cojones to run against Brown because they would be fighting for the same vote (the law and order, barncoat/pick-up truck crowd). Now that his alter-ego (with the emphasis on ego) is out he's in? So now we have two DINOs and a Democrat. 

Who? Never heard of him. I don't live in Middlesex County, though, so maybe he's well known there.
