U.S. Atty. Carmen Ortiz

U.S. Atty. Carmen Ortiz for Massachusetts governor in 2014?

That seems to be the rumor circulating in Democratic circles, according to the Boston Herald.

“That’s a rumor out there,” acknowledged former Massachusetts Democratic Party Chairman Phil Johnston, according to the Boston Herald “She’s had a high profile as a U.S. attorney, particularly in her efforts to combat corruption in state government. That would certainly be a positive.”
