Looking At The Senate

[Richard Chonak <rac@gabrielmass.com>]

A story in today's _Herald_
http://www2.bostonherald.com/news/local_regional/romn02272002.htm
mentions in passing that WBZ legal expert Neil Chayet is 
considering a run for the Senate seat now occupied by 
John Forbes Kerry.  

While talk radio stints seem to have boosted the careers of
would-be politicians in some parts of the country, I don't think
this has worked much in Massachusetts.   

While many political activists and officeholders have taken to 
radio (Jordan Levy, Jim Braude, Peter Blute, Jay Severin),
offhand I don't know of anyone who has gained public office
after working in radio, except for David Brudnoy's stint as
Deputy Sheriff of Middlesex County.

Has it happened here?
