BOSTON - Democratic Senate hopeful Stephen Pagliuca has spent $5.4 million of his own money so far in his bid for the seat once held by the late Edward Kennedy. The multimillionaire...

Steve Pagliuca, a candidate in the Democratic primary for the U.S. Senate seat formerly held by Sen. Edward Kennedy (D-Mass.), "made the boldest move yet" in the race when he recently used health care reform "to try to set himself apart from his principal rivals," Boston Globe columnist Steve Lehigh writes.

As predicted in today's Globe , Steve Pagliuca released an ad today that is probably the most aggressive of the campaign thus far. It's on health care, calling out Capuano and Coakley by name over their stated intention not to support a bill that includes Stupitts on final passage. And it has the telltale "ominous voice" reading it, instead of Pags himself, whose voice appears...

A very interesting report from Rasmussen , which shows Coakley still in the lead, but not by as much, and with some other big differences as well.

... but it has little other relevance to this race or the role of the Senator. As an Episcopal, Steve Pagliuca was obviously delighted to be above this manufactured dust up. Then all four of them smeared rhetorical oatmeal on the wall — their religion is between God and themselves. The glib Globe , whose reporters seem to be moderately favoring Coakley in articles, ran coverage...

The Senate candidates debate is on tonight at 7 pm on WGBH. I was at the taping (which was this afternoon). A couple of highlights: No one has yet decided to hammer at Martha Coakley. Either they think it won't work, or they think it's too early. The most spirited arguing came when Steve Pagliuca went after both Coakley and Capuano on their statements that they would vote against the...

Via a comment at BMG , I read a blog post showcasing the true numbers in the Senate race. While all the news outlets talk about the double digit lead Coakley enjoys, they fail to mention that a scant 21% of people have made up their minds about who to vote for! Left Bank lists the numbers thusly: 79% Undecided (plus Don’t Know) 11% Martha Coakley 5% Mike Capuano 4% Steve Pagliuca 1% Alan...

Attorney General Martha Coakley (D) has a solid lead in the four-way Democratic race for the open US Senate seat, but with just 16 days until the primary election, nearly three-quarters of likely voters have yet to decide who they will support, according to a Boston Globe poll . Coakley leads with 43%, followed by Rep. Michael Capuano (D) with 22%, Steve Pagliuca (D) with 15% and Alan...

Here’s the background: I first invited front-runner Martha Coakley to dinner, confident that she wouldn’t show. She may be a lioness in the courtroom, but she’s a timid little mouse where the media are concerned. I also invited Khazei and Steve Pagliuca; not Representative Mike Capuano, because he works in Washington, D.C. Khazei accepted, and I spent most of Friday careening around the...

... a moderately dropping but still considerable lead for the 12/8 primary at 43% to Capuano's 22% to Steve Pagliuca's 15% to Alan Khazei's 6%. Even though 50% of those polled say they are undecided and only 24% leaning toward any one candidate, she should safely assume she will top the voting and be the lead of two candidates for the 1/19 final.

... reaffirming her cautious, no-waves, no-show tactics. It also makes clear that the buckets of dough Steve Pagliuca has dropped may not be paying off as well as his investment in the Celtics. Coakley benefits from strong name recognition as the only candidate who has previously run statewide. Capuano probably benefits from polling that started a couple of days before his Globe profile....

The survey indicates that Coakley has the highest favorability rating among the four candidates, the best known name recognition, the seen as the most qualified and most likely to win.
