"The death of Democratic titan Sen. Ted Kennedy, which creates the first Senate opening in Massachusetts in 25 years, is likely to release the pent-up ambitions of a long line of Democrats who will find the upcoming special election hard to pass up," Politico reports.
"Several of them have already been jockeying behind the scenes for months over the possibility of a Senate vacancy. Since under current Massachusetts election law Kennedy's successor will be selected in a special election -- likely to be held in late January 2010 -- the contest will be especially attractive to sitting officeholders who would not have to give up their seats to run."
Meanwhile, CQ Politics notes there are several "House members past and present with seven-figure campaign accounts" that they could use for the race.
