what does that mean in terms of the contours of the race? >> i think it's a little more clear-cut on the democratic side. the story of the democratic politics in massachusetts. the older white ethnic socially conservative wing. ed king and michael dukakis, they had epic primary battles. now the candidate who kind of represents that wing is steve lynch. this iron worker from south boston. was in the state senate there, was in congress for ten years, he's by far the most conservative member of the massachusetts house delegation. he's probably going to lose today. i'd be surprised if he won. on the republican side, much more fluid, only 13% of the electorate in massachusetts is republican. unenrolled voters can take the republican or democratic ballot up there. basically you have an issue where the front-runners are gabriel gomez who on paper is a very attractive candidate. >> former navy s.e.a.l., businessman in private equity and finished the boston marathon
