DescriptionBOSTON — Democrats are seeking to make amends in Massachusetts after Scott Brown’s (R) stunning election to the Senate last January.

Party members and labor groups in the state said that beating Brown will likely be their top priority in 2012, presenting them an opportunity to reclaim the late Sen. Edward Kennedy’s (D) longtime seat.

Brown also represents one of the few pickup opportunities for Democrats, who’ll be defending 23 Senate seats in the coming election.

“If you had to project right now, it’s top of the ticket in Massachusetts,” said state Democratic Party Chairman John Walsh of Brown.

And while Brown’s staff publicly argues that it’s far too early to be talking about the 2012 election, it’s begun quietly assembling an organization to withstand the coming firestorm.
