Kennedyseat.com spins an interesting answer to the question of why a guy who hasn't lived here in 25 years and who is best known as consigliere to one of the most unpopular presidents in the state would want to run for U.S. Senate: It's not really about Massachusetts.

Dan Kennedy has a theory, too - that Card is really just using the Senate race to gain visibility for a run at the governor's seat.
