It would be nice if this included the fact that the 4th Congressional district has been redrawn, and is believed to be more Republican.

This is certainly true. The new district map can be seen here. The new 4th District added areas such as Raynham and Hopkinton, which are heavily Republican. It also removed New Bedford, which is a stronghold of Democrats.

This was also a contributing reason to Barney Frank retiring. http://www.wbur.org/2011/11/30/fourth-congressional-district — Preceding unsigned comment added by 76.127.138.166 (talk) 23:49, 22 September 2012 (UTC)

Notability
However one thinks about Sean Bielat's positions, this article is timely and newsworthy because Sean Bielat is involved in a local highly visible head-on-head race in a very polarized election (nationally and locally and regionally polarized) where important national outcomes are at issue. Maybe San Francisco Wikipedians don't see this, but New England Wikipedians DO see it.
