You're an editor for a metropolitan daily. Which story do you put on the front page: Jeff Perry and the strip search or Barney Frank lending his campaign some money?

MassBeacon.com introduces us to James Kennedy, yet another one of those Kennedys who isn't one of those Kennedys, running for the 10th District seat being vacated by Bill Delahunt. As a Democrat, of course. Now, this Kennedy actually lives in South Boston, which is Steve Lynch's district, but as a lawyer, he knows you don't have to live in a congressional district to run there.
Teddy can rest easy tonight.
As expected, Stephen Lynch, D-9th, voted no on the measure (Times map showing all the votes). State Rep. Jeff Perry, R-Sandwich, running to replace Bill Delahunt in the 10th district, wasted no time issuing a press release calling the measure unconstitutional.
