"Since winning a highly competitive special election four years ago, US Representative Stephen F. Lynch has been able to relax at election time, coasting to victory over a follower of fringe presidential candidate Lyndon LaRouche in 2002 and running unopposed last year.

"Next fall, the South Boston Democrat will have to fend off at least one serious challenger from his own party for his Ninth District seat: Westwood businessman Phil Dunkelbarger, a veteran of the Howard Dean presidential campaign and a harsh critic of Lynch's service on Capitol Hill."
