BOSTON -- Massachusetts Rep. Barney Frank's retort was an Internet sensation. Questioned at a town hall last year about the "Nazi policy" of health care reform, Frank told the speaker who made the comment that talking to her was "like talking to a dining room table."

Fast forward to this year and the questioner, Rachel Brown, is challenging the 15-term Democrat's re-election bid.

Brown said her exchange with Frank inspired her to run against him in the Sept. 14 Democratic primary for the state's 4th Congressional District.

Frank, a heavy favorite, said Brown isn't very rational.

Republican Sean Bielat, a 35-year-old Marine and businessman from Brookline, will face off against Earl Sholley, a 62-year-old businessman from Norfolk, as the GOP chooses a challenger to Frank.

Power to the people! Pull off a surprise Rachel!!!!
