Barros recalled sharing a law office on Main Street , Hyannis with Sutter before the latter went to work as a prosecutor with the Bristol County District Attorney's office. OnTuesday, Suttertoppled 16-year incumbent D.A. Paul Walsh by about 2,000 votes in the Democratic primary, sweep ing his home city of Fall River and his opponent' s base of New Bedford. Barros must hope some of that anti-incumbent magic will drift eastward.

Bill Delahunt , said the congressman has been traveling to other dis- tricts to bolster Democratic candidates.

That would likely open the door to hearings on a variety of hot topics in 2007.
