To review:

Rep. Michael Capuano (D-Ted Kennedy) launches an ad campaign one day before he announces his run for the Senate seat left vacant by Kennedy’s death.

Boston Celtics co-owner, former Bainiac, and Mitt Romney ATM Steve Pagliuca (D-GOP) launches an ad campaign one day after he announces his run for the Senate seat left vacant by Kennedy’s death.

(Memo to Steve: Better you should set fire to $10 million and go on vacation. There’s no financial benefit to it, but at least you’ll be on vacation sooner.)

Meanwhile: Paging Martha Coakley. Paging caboose candidate Martha Coakley.

Just 81 shopping days until the primary to elect Ted Kennedy’s replacement – make that, successor.

Chop chop, Martha.
