A special election to replace Ted Kennedy is coming up on January 19th. Now I am not certain why there is the silence on this critical vote. So either Republicans are keeping national hush hush in order to get their resources into the race without every other party in the nation getting involved, or Dems are keeping hush hush because the candidate is relying on the (D) on the ballot box to get elected.
If the both are true the Dems in Massachusetts are dead in the water and will lose their majority. The other possibility is the national news media doesn't want to make a race with a powerful GOP candidate and a weak Democratic candidate rely on the headline making mud slinging that would occur if it did become national. It would focus the entire nation on one race and lies could spin the whole thing upside down.
The other possibility is everyone presumes a Democrat will win and that it is not really news worthy since we "know" what will happen.
Examining the Democratic candidate there are some obvious skeletons that could come to haunt her before this thing is a done deal.

Dude, what in GOD'S NAME are you talking about? This is perhaps the biggest, and ONLY political story right now, and has been for more than a week or two. You can't turn ANYWHERE - be it Drudge, to all the conservative blogs, to simple news agencies - without seeing Martha Coakley and Scott Brown there.
Pay better attention. There is more energy and attention on this race than there was on NY23, and that is saying something.
