Yeah, she is a coward. She won’t answer any question she doesn’t want to take. What you need to do is to pronounce her name as Tax-on-Gas (and everything else) and to remind people that she has no experience other than being Paul Tax-on-Gas’ widow.

I suspect Jim Ogonowski might take exception to your “unopposed” comment but otherwise, Nikki sounds like a typical Mass RAT. Hey, how is that state public option doing for y’all up there?

She was an assistant dean of students at a community college?

Another wife inherits her husband's political career.

Being it is Tsongas, no surprise!! Even less a surprise is she took over her hubby’s seat, and is picking up where he left off.

You run. She is a ditz. Sympathy vote got her in. Plus the control from the Dem.
Party who has Mass. under control
Times have changed you could make a run now, better chance now than it has been in year’s

Either A) Run as Republican yourself (or your friends/family), 2) Work for the Republican, or B) Since you’re in an extremely liberal enclave: Support an Indepdent Conservative Candidate, C) Failing that find the mose conservative (and I don’t like this word, but it’s better than a libera- moderate) Democrat and support them in a (Hopefully) tough primary for her..!@just a thought..!

I am ashamed to have her as my representative but I live in a district where there is no such thing as the Republican Party.

I'll trade you. I have Sheila Jackson-Lee, the self-consequent camera hog and "Queen of the Nile", whose district, in 1992, gave 75% of its votes to a dope-smoking, draft-dodging rapist over a decorated WW II veteran and sitting President of the United States who had just won a war against an odious military dictator.
