Turnout would be higher if there were a 5th candidate, the gay canadate, in the race. As far as Capuano’s seat being opened up for a Kennedy, well Joe Kennedy can promote Capuano’s election for what ever reason he likes, the gap is so big that Coakley can easily spin it into a non-factor.

I agree with ltro8 that turn out will likely be high; I base this on the heated comments in the globe (online) both pro and con regarding the issues raised by this election. Turnout was very high last November and there are still plenty of issues besides health care reform that need to be dealt with in Congress.
