Mike Capuano (D-Mass.),the six-term incumbent from the most liberal district in Massachusetts (Obama beat McCain there by 71 points), who is also running to replace the late Ted Kennedy in a January 2010 special election.
If the ACORN backlash has a long tail, expect to hear about this as Capuano runs an underdog race against Martha Coakley, the state attorney general.
