Today Massachusetts Democrats select their nominee, and in all likelihood, their state’s next U.S. senator.

The choice on the Democratic side is among Attorney General Martha Coakley, Rep. Michael E. Capuano, City Year co-founder Alan Khazei, and Celtics co-owner Stephen G. Pagliuc; from the perspective of those of us on the right, it’s lefty vs. lefty vs. lefty vs. lefty.

Two Republicans are running; state senator Scott Brown and Duxbury businessman Jack E. Robinson.

The general election/coronation is January 19.
