California took away state-issued cell phones and New York is cracking down on renegade bicyclists. Chicago got a tax increase. Nine-year old Christina Taylor Green taught all of us another lesson, not just Bostonians.

Bostonist is glad Vicki Kennedy isn't running for Senate in 2012. We opposed her possible candidacy the first time we heard it, and we still do. We're not joining the Tea Party by saying that, either. Vicki is unquestionably capable enough to be a successful Senator. We think she's done her part by supporting Ted Kennedy and has earned time away from public scrutiny.
It looks like Senator Scott Brown is the only person not obsessed with his 2012 reelection campaign. He recently said he's not worried about 2012. "Give me a break. I’m not concerned about my job," he said in his definitive I'm-Scott-Brown-and-I-drive-a-truck tone.
Senator Scott Brown may have a bought a teeny tiny apartment (Did he let wife Gail Huff see it first?) in Washington, D.C., but he has really big poll numbers in Massachusetts.
The Boston Globe reports Brown is the "most popular officeholder in Massachusetts" in a poll conducted by UNH last week. His 55% favorability rating tops President Obama (54%) and Senator John F. Kerry (52%) and other prominent Democrats. The poll also found that one-fourth of Bay State residents support Tea Party Groups while 71% of Tea Partyers are Pro-Brown.
The Globe says Democrats are concerned about running against the popular Brown in 2012 and want Vicki Kennedy to run against him. Please don't run, Vicki. Bostonist isn't issuing a backdoor endorsement of Brown. The idea of her running for Ted Kennedy's former job isn't an appealing one to us.

Oprah Winfrey's interview with Victoria Reggie Kennedy, her first television appearence since Sen. Edward M. Kennedy died in August, airs nationally on Wednesday. Vicki Kennedy reportedly discusses the Senator's final days and behind-the-scenes details on his support of President Obama's 2008 campaign. Ted Kennedy Jr. joined Vicki and her children, Caroline and Curran Raclin, on the show, which airs at 4 p.m. tomorrow on WCVB. [Herald]
