Maybe you didn’t pay much attention to these primaries, but that doesn’t mean nothing happened: voters produced several political headlines.

The biggest is “ready to rumble”  in the Massachusetts governor’s race.

For months we’ve been anticipating a Coakley-Baker battle for months and now it’s here, even though Coakley had a tougher time making it than she expected.

In New Hampshire, it’s bring it on! The Brown-Shaheen face-off for the U.S. Senate is already underway.

Once again, Brown faces a popular Democratic woman, and once again he starts as the underdog.     

It’s unusual in Massachusetts for an incumbent to be challenged in a primary, much less lose it, but tonight, that’s John Tierney.

Seth Moulton is a Marine with a Harvard degree and now he can add giant killer to his resume. Beating the nine-term congressman in the biggest upset of the night.      

In the A.G.’s race, give newcomer Maura Healey the rookie-of-the-year award for taking down Warren Tolman, a popular, veteran state politician.

Healey is a new face with a big future, and she’s well positioned to win in November.

And finally, a note on turn out:

It was so low, you’d get the impression the great majority of Massachusetts voters are satisfied with their government.

The way I see it, if you voted, then you still have a right to complain.

But, if you didn’t, you don’t.
