BOSTON - Democrat Martha Coakley is wasting little time flexing her political muscle as a U.S. Senate candidate.
Her supporters lined city intersections for two blocks around the Greater Boston Labor Council breakfast on Monday, a sign of the Democrat's early organizational advantage in the race to succeed the late Senator Edward M. Kennedy.
Coakley said in an interview the response to her candidacy since announcing last Thursday has been "overwhelming."
Also in attendance was U.S. Rep. John Tierney. He says he's still considering his own candidacy but would be influenced if former Rep. Joseph P. Kennedy II jumped into the race to succeed his uncle.
Edward Kennedy died Aug. 25 of brain cancer.
The primary to whittle the field to succeed him is Dec. 8. The special election is Jan. 19.
