From the Boston Herald:

A Republican write-in candidate for attorney general who wants to do what U.S. Sen. Scott Brown did – beat Martha Coakley – is off to a “pretty substantial” start, the iconic Massachusetts GOP standard-bearer said yesterday.

Brown suggested yesterday that a repeat of his own come-from-behind win by former prosecutor James McKenna of Millbury is possible if voters want to send a message.

“They’re sending a lot of very powerful messages,” Brown noted, in an apparent reference to national upsets and strong Republican turnouts Tuesday in Massachusetts. He called McKenna’s “10,000 times two” write-in vote claim “pretty substantial.”

McKenna won at least 10,000 write-in votes Tuesday to win a place on the Nov. 2 ballot, according to Secretary of State William Galvin. But McKenna claimed yesterday that when the tally is complete, he’ll have at least 20,000.
