Given the stupidity of Mass. voters we know full well that another leftist dem will be elected. But at least they will be offered the perfunctory ability to VOTE! This is something Teddy wanted to refuse his “beloved constituents”, demanding that little Deval be allowed to override voting rights and just install another Kennedy! A thug to the end, Teddy.
“In Massachusetts you have to be a resident for at least one year to run for senator.”
That being said, Mitt Romney is not going to move back to Mass. to make a long-shot bid for the U.S. Senate. If Romney didn’t even run for reelection as governor in 2006 because he thought he would likely lose (and, even worse for someone that wanted to run for Ppresident as a Republican, not be able to reinvent himself as a “conservative” and simultaneously face the Mass. electorate), he won’t run for the Senate now.
Do you think that Peter Blute could make a run? I can’t think of any other moderate-to-conservative Republicans that could run a competitive statewide race.
Me too. And it blinded me. Tem po ra ri leeeee... Now, the fur trapper, who was strictly from commercial...
Sorry. Where was I? They'll change the law, of course. Mostly because they're terrified of losing a Dem vote in the Senate and at least partially because they can. Watch it happen.
I love the fact that the Democrats own chicanery smacked them in the ass, just in time to vote on health care when 60 votes could be needed. Maybe this is what Feingold meant when he said there would be no Senate vote on health care until after Christmas. Massachussetts has to vote in their new socialist to take Teddy’s place.
Of course, if he had done the right thing and resigned his seat back when he was diagnosed, the whole spectacle could have been avoided.
bttt
God works in strange ways.
And that old fart in WV couldn't be far behind Teddy.
I still believe Obamacare is D.O.A. in the Senate...
if it makes it that far.
If Americans wanted socialized medicine they’d move to Canada, the UK or Europe...hint...hint...hint!
And the demise of Obamacare will be Hussein’s “Waterloo”.
Now about that Birth Certificate...
An open senate seat will attract republicans it will just have to take time to see who.
Well since you live there, you should know...
there isn’t really much chance of an “R” winning...is there?
Lynch is pro-life. Other than that, he is, as they would say in his own nabe, “re-TAHH-ded.”

“There is always a chance.”
But the odds are pretty long aren’t they?
Which “R” would have the best chance of winning?
LOL They waited just a little too long to try to change the laws and even passing it now would not allow it to be retroactive.
I don’t know...I am certainly not any authority on MA politics but I would think the best we can hope for is a Pro-Life and/or Blue Dog Democrat...
It is hard to say and it really depends on who the challengers are and if there will be an independant running. We had 16 years of republican governors and it looking like we will have another one in there again.
The democrat leadership in this state has swung far left recently so I’m assuming that nominee would be of the Barney Frank type. If this is the case and the Republicans can run a normal human being than yes they can win the seat. I’ll give the odds of a Republican winning the seat right now at about 35%. Not good but not bad either.
Or just ignore it, like they do the rest of the laws in our country.
