Representative Michael E. Capuano, the only congressman to run for US Senate in the 2010 special election to replace the late Democrat Edward M. Kennedy, announced today that he will not run in any special election to replace Senator John F. Kerry.
“After careful consideration, I have decided not to enter the race for US Senate,” Capuano, the former mayor of Somerville, said in a one-paragraph statement. “Instead, I look forward to focusing on the important issues facing the new Congress. My current work in the House and whatever opportunities the future may hold, afford me the greatest honor of my life, fighting for the citizens of the Commonwealth.”

Too bad, but I guess his poll numbers just don't hit the mark. Shame that a boof like Brown and a hack like Coakley have higher name recognition.
