I'm astounded at how long Kennedy has been able to stay in office.
Admittedly, he gets tons of mileage from the family name and his two dead brothers.
But his antics (Chappaquiddick, etc) and bloviating speeches would have worn thin on the voters of most other states.
Kennedy must have one hell of a constituent services effort going out of his congressional offices for state residents to put up with him.
Anyone here have something to offer up as to how Kennedy has managed to stayb in office this damned long?
It's an Occam's Razor thing.
Simple answer is the right one.
The people of *assachusetts are damned commie idiots.
They elected Romney and Kerry too.
I believe the entire congressional delegation are socialists, most of them are openly members of the democrapping socialists of America, the order of the red rose.

I've wondered about that too. I can't believe they haven't dumped him long ago. He's an embarrassment to MA, America and to himself, and he's getting worse.
I have an answer for you. I am a Mass resident (or resident of Taxachusetts, if you will). Sometimes I feel like I am the only conservative living in this state, aside from our Governor, Mitt Romney. Anyway, the reason Teddy keeps his job here is because the Republican Party is practically non-existant in this state. Since they cant muster up a candidate to run against him, he is re-elected over and over - kind of like the election Saddam held in Iraq where he ran against himself - and won!! Beleive me, I cant wait for Ted "The windbag" Kennedy to be replaced. Every day I wake up I hope his liver explodes in his face. Its got to happen sooner or later, given the lush that he is!!
They're all elist snobs .. like Kennedy .. and would vote for any democrat no matter what they did.
However, since MA has elected a repub as Gov (Romney) - who knows how much longer people will have to suffer with Kennedy.
