2009 Mass Senate Dem primary data wanted

I'm curious about the effect of the contested primary on Democratic voter attitudes in the Massachusetts 2010 Senate race.

To investigate this, I would like to compare the performance of each of the candidates in the Democratic 2009 primary for this special election with the voter turnout for the Jan. 19, 2009 Coakley/Brown numbers once they are known.

If anyone has access to such data, it would be nice to use to make this comparison. For context, I refer to the extremely valuable and timely town benchmarks posted at

See what I am getting at?

Close; need turnout but pretty good

Helpful, thanks.

A quick comparison shows that towns in which Cloakley's principal primary opponent Capuano did well in 2009 trended strongly to support her against Brown today. That's interesting, but without turnout numbers also, it's hard to read more than conservative/liberal balance into this.

Thanks again.
