NOTE: For reference, unopposed races are listed at the bottom.

First Bristol & Plymouth -- Fall River, Westport, Swansea

OPEN SEAT: Incumbent Joan Menard is not running

Michael Rodrigues is current a state rep trying to move up. This looks like one of those increasingly frequent situations where the Democrat is more socially conservative than the Republican.

Cape & Islands -- Cape Cod, Nantucket

OPEN SEAT: Incumbent Robert O'Leary ran for Congress and lost in the primary

First Essex -- Haverhill, Newburyport, Methuen

Second Essex -- Peabody, Beverly, Salem

Jolitz is a Tea Party favorite, and a very good candidate. Berry is horrible.

Second Essex & Middlesex -- Lawrence, Andover, Tewksbury

OPEN SEAT: Incumbent Susan Tucker is not running

Finegold is an big liberal, currently a state rep trying to move up.

Third Essex & Middlesex -- Lynn, Marblehead, Saugus, Swampscott

Hampden -- W.Springfield, Agawam

OPEN SEAT: Incumbent Stephen Buoniconti is running for sheriff.

Welch is a current state rep trying to move up to the Senate. Bob Magovern is on the Republican State Committee -- but don't hold that against him. He's a great candidate!

First Hampden & Hampshire -- E. Longmeadow, Wilbraham, Springfield

McCarthy is 100% pro-family. A refreshing change from Candaras.

First Middlesex -- Lowell, Tyngsborough, Westford

OPEN SEAT: Incumbent Steven Panagiotakos is not running.

Second Middlesex -- Medford, Somerville, Winchester

According to a Herald column Jehlen is not identifying herself as a Democrat in her mailings. Can things be that bad for them?

Third Middlesex -- Waltham, Chelmsford, Lincoln

Sandi Martinez is an incredible candidate -- great on all the issues. She'd be a breath of fresh air after years of Susan Fargo's militant liberalism.

Middlesex & Essex -- Malden, Wakefield, Stoneham

OPEN SEAT: Incumbent Richard Tisei is running for Lt. Governor.

Katherine Clark is a current state rep running for Senate. As a radical leftist she's off the charts. But Spadafora seems to be no bowl of cherries. One Melrose resident went into his campaign office and his aide's desk sported a MassEquality sticker.  But still, it would be worth getting Clark out of the Legislature completely.

Second Middlesex & Norfolk -- Framingham, Ashland, Hopkinton

Middlesex, Suffolk & Essex -- Cambridge, Everett, Chelsea

Middlesex & Worcester -- Acton, Maynard, Marlborough

Norfolk, Bristol & Plymouth -- Milton, Canton, Randolph

Norfolk & Plymouth -- Quincy, Braintree, Holbrook

OPEN SEAT: Michael Morrissey is not running.

Plymouth & Barnstable -- Plymouth, Sandwich, Pembroke

What a great opportunity! Therese Murray is the President of the Senate and one would think would have a strong chance of beating anyone. She's also a hardcore liberal, and has raised money for the homosexual lobby. But Tom Keyes is running a really good campaign. And this is traditionally a conservative district which Scott Brown won handily earlier this year. And people in that area are particularly upset with Beacon Hill, we're told. We're looking for an upset here!

First Plymouth & Bristol -- Taunton, Middleborough

Plymouth & Norfolk -- Weymouth, Norwell, Duxbury

Bob Hedlund has traditionally been a good conservative, but in recent years has been drifting toward being a moderate. We think he's getting too comfortable. But we still need to keep him in there.

First Suffolk & Middlesex -- East Boston, Revere, Cambridge

Suffolk & Norfolk -- Boston, Dedham, Norwood

OPEN SEAT: Incumbent Marian Walsh is finally leaving.

Michael Rush is a current state rep trying to move up to the Senate.

Worcester & Middlesex -- Fitchburg, Gardner, Leominster

Worcester & Norfolk -- Uxbridge, Webster, Southbridge

Moore is in the tank with the big drug companies, and pushed the bill to require all 16-year-old girls to get the HPV vaccine, which has proven to be dangerous. He also pushed the radical and oppressive Pandemic Bill, which in the end finally faded away after MassResistance helped expose it.
