Does this guy have a snowball’s chance in hell?
I think Frank has an opponent in the primary, Rachel Brown, but she’s a LaRouchie (LaRouche Youth Movement). She has posed next to “Impeach Obama” signs and also got yelled at by Frank in a town meeting where Frank asked her “on what planet do you spend most of your time?” and “arguing with you is like arguing with a dining room table”. I get a feeling Frank will win his primary.
btw as much as I’m against Frank’s politics he did have a couple good lines a few years back. On a depressed central
artery: “Wouldn’t it be cheaper to raise the city?” And:
“If they want to depress the artery they should just have
Mike Dukakis talk to it.” Other than that...
Frank's district is drawn to take advantage of the most liberal tools available in the entire state. These people would rather die than support anyone to the right of Frank. Being gay actually helps a candidate in that district.
Scott Brown was able to win because it was a statewide election. Barney is set for lfe.
If he gets through the primary and I think he will, the race will become a national race and the Republican candidate should be able to raise enough money to be competitive as Frank has about a $1million to work with but he has to give some of that money to other Dems who are in trouble
