From the Examiner:

Jim McKenna has now been officially certified as qualifying for the November ballot to face Martha Coakley for attorney general. He was kind enough to give me a few minutes of his time this afternoon:

DaTechGuy: Jim Congratulations on making the ballot, do you have an exact count on the number of write-in/sticker votes you managed to get:

Jim McKenna: The final count is not in we know of 15k, but it could come in much higher.

DTG: A write in campaign is tough, in a primary doubly so and would be considered impossible for a Massachusetts republican before this year. What happened?

JM: Experienced political people told us we couldn’t do it but the people got involved, there seemed to be more homemade signs and individuals pushing the candidacy than we ever expected. Between myself and Guy Carbone another fine write-in candidate we know at least 20k went to the polls motivated for this race. I’ve never seen people so involved.
