Grossman's decision to run for governor would launch a race for treasurer (nearly certain to include Boston city councillor Stephen Murphy); and there's plenty of interest in Coakley's AG position and Capuano's House seat.
There are also a host of Democrats interested in running for lieutenant governor — depending on who is running for the top spot.
So don't expect much respite from political action, now that the Scott Brown–Elizabeth Warren battle is over. There won't be much calm before the next storm.

- How Brown won
As the Massachusetts US Senate election unfolded yesterday, all that the pols and pundits wanted to talk about was how Martha Coakley managed to lose the race. And there is plenty there to dissect. But there is another part of the story, and that is how Scott Brown managed to win it.
