O’Donnell and his ilk can never take away Brown, a Republican, winning a Kennedy seat. For one brief moment, the voters rebelled and then settled back into apathetic acceptance of having a lying, criminal dunce represent their interests.
The truth about Massachusetts....is that it’s roughly forty percent hardcore Democrat, ten percent soft-core Democrat, forty percent independent, and ten percent Republican. Occasionally, you come up with one decent Republican for a state office and get the independents and the soft-core Democrats to support the guy. If you had to pick one of the toughest environments for a Republican to run an election in...this would be in the top three (put L.A. in there...and Detroit as the other).
