YOUR TURN: Who Will Run Against or After Menino?

If Boston Mayor Thomas Menino were to choose not to run next year - who would run? Who would you like to see run for mayor?

It's gotten to the point that individuals wanting to be Boston mayor openly admit they are waiting for Thomas Menino to step aside.

The Boston Herald did a roundup of the usual suspects expected to make a run at being Boston's next mayor.

Included in the Herald's list are: Suffolk County District Attorney Dan Conley, City Councilors John Connolly, Ayanna Pressley, Felix Arroyo, Tito Jackson and Mike Ross. Suffolk County Sheriff Andrea Cabral. State Representatives Linda Dorcena Forry and Marty Walsh were also tabbed as possible candidates.
