Matt has a report that Guillaume de Ramel, who lost last year's Democratic primary for secretary of state, is being talked up as a possible candidate to succeed the late Paul Crowley.

Although de Ramel lost a low-turnout Democratic primary in 2006 to current Secretary of State Ralph Mollis 53% - 47%, he did overwhelmingly win the city of Newport by a margin of 75% - 25%. 

With these results and his high name recognition, de Ramel would be the early favorite to win a special election in House District 75.  Perennial candidate Dave Carlin III is also expected to run.
