Hopefully even if you're not fond of whomever the GOP nominates for prez or of Scott Brown, and you happen to live in Barney Frank's district, you'll at least vote for Bielat. Wouldn't it be major to at least flip that seat?
Pacs have been running ads against Brown in the Boston market for months now.
For what, exactly, do the Kennedys need to be avenged?
Scenarios:
Warren beats Brown this year. She serves one term then decides to step down (she already has a bunch of money as it is). In 2018, after serving a few terms in the House,
JoeK runs for Warren’s seat.
SENATOR JOE KENNEDY III
Or Obama wins again and Kerry takes a post in the administration; resigns seat and either through
appointment or special election...
SENATOR JOE KENNEDY III.
(Or in 2014, when he is up next for re-election, Kerry
decided to call it a career and Joe III runs for his seat.)
>>It's all about the has been Kennedy's. Nothing about the voters or citizens of the district. Just like his befuddled and arrogant daddy 20 years ago. However, today's voters are no longer impressed or supportive of phoney dynasties that care nothing about working people. I still think that Lord Fauntelroy Kennedy won't run once he see's the polls. Just like his dad did in the governor's races and Senate race in these past 14 years. Bielat, a USMC officer and working class person is running. He got many votes in 2010. You have a working class USMC vet running against a rich never accomplished anything brat who had to have his daddy get him a job in the state. The people of Frank's district deserve better than the arrogant and uncaring representation that his daddy gave folks in the early to mid-1990's. The Kennedys turned their backs on working class ethnic folks who used to adore them. Now the sons and daughters of these folks would never even consider voting for a Kennedy.
Another:
>>If Warren and JoeK3 get elected the whole state needs to be drug tested. Sean is a decent man and good candidate plus a former Marine. So far Scott has done a good job and deserves a full term. When JoeK3 steps down from teh DA's office will there be another nationwide search to fill his position or will another kennedy be ordained right away?
(Note: In MA the best we can do is a "RINO" (remember this is Massachusetts we're talking about) --though admittedly his voting record is generally more conservative than Warren's would be. As in, 70 per cent beats 0 per cent. At the very least I hope the 4th can elect Bielat.)
The kennedys: can’t drive, can’t fly, can’t ski, can’t pilot a PT boat, but they know what’s best for us.
I think they’ll just pull Ted out of the ground and run him again. Even so, he’ll still be the most clear headed Kennedy in the race.
