Q&A #5: Congress, 8th & 9th CDs

Taking two together; "BStarr" asks:

Is Stephen Lynch a lock in the new 8th?

...and "Ryan H." asks:

Does [Sam] Sutter have a chance against [incumbent Bill] Keating?

Yes, Lynch looks like he'll cruise to re-election without working up much of a sweat. And while I think Sutter is a strong candidate worth watching, I think he really needed a Cape candidate in the primary, whether state rep O'Leary or someone else, to take votes away from Keating in the new 9th. Tough to see how Sutter wins.
