Gay Patriot asks Is There a Carly Fiorina for Massachusetts’s 4th Congressional District?

I lived for a while in one of the wealthier cities in Rep. Frank’s district. It’s rather oddly shaped and encompasses a diverse range of communities, from the affluent west of Boston conjoined enclaves of Newton and Brookline down to the more economically mixed areas of Buzzards Bay.

Despite its relatively small geographic area, the liberal money, power, and influence axis formed by Newton and Brookline ultimately controls what happens in Rep Frank’s district. This area is solidly Democratic. Only someone with major “star” power and incredibly deep pockets could hope to unseat him, and I doubt there are any Massachusetts Republicans that match those criteria (save for, perhaps, Mitt Romney, but why would he want to run for the House?)

Bottom line is that Rep. Frank’s seat is as safe as the gold in Fort Knox.
