AG Watch

The Worcester Telegram's Shaun Sutner reports that Millbury lawyer James McKenna is discussing a write-in campaign to run against Martha Coakley for Attorney General.  If he wins the GOP primary by write-in, then he will be on the ballot in the general.

Winning the primary, even unopposed, with a write-in campaign will be difficult.  A quick glimpse of his chief issues (straight from the Telegram article), after the jump.

He said he would crack down in illegal immigrants with a similar approach to the state of Arizona, which passed a law allowing police officers to demand citizenship identification of anyone they stop.
...
Mr. McKenna also criticized Ms. Coakley for inaction on political corruption cases, noting that federal authorities have brought the most significant corruption charges, including those against former Boston state Sen. Dianne Wilkerson.
He also said he would establish a public corruption strike force.
...
He said he is in favor of the death penalty; opposes abortion except in cases of rape and incest; and that while he is personally against same-sex marriage, would not seek a ballot referendum to overturn it in Massachusetts.
