' MA-Gov, -Sen: U.S. Attorney Carmen Ortiz had been talked up for some time as a possible gubernatorial candidate in 2014 (she first surfaced in the Digest last March), and more recently, as a Senate hopeful as well. As the state's first female and first Hispanic USA, she'd have cut an interesting profile in a statewide race, and even Gov. Deval Patrick reportedly talked up Ortiz as a potential successor. But now she's saying "no" to either possibility, adding that she's "thrilled" with her current job.
