A new Rasmussen poll of the Massachusetts special election for Senate finds that state Attorney General Martha Coakley starts out with a big lead in the Democratic primary.
The numbers: Coakley 38%, Rep. Stephen Lynch 11%, Rep. Ed Markey 10%, Rep. Michael Capuano 7%, and Rep. John Tierney 3%. Coakley is the only one to have officially launched a candidacy, though Lynch and Capuano have also taken the preliminary step of obtaining nomination papers.
The primary will be held three months from now, on December 8.

That's fine. She's the only one who has officially declared her candidacy. That alone will change the numbers, along with the profiles that will come out of each of the candidates.
Massachusetts voters should elect a more reliable progressive than Coakley (or Lynch).
