Sure, leave us without a Sec of State . . . that’ll help win you elections Repubs.
Anyone wanting on or off this ping list, please advise.
where is she?
Sorry...not buying this claptrap. The pubbies don’t have the stones to stop anything from the 0bamunists; not in the House and not in Senate.
Anything published to the contrary is pure, unadulterated BS.
If a Republican speaks in the woods (or anywhere else for that matter) does anyone give a smelly Obama?
Ed Markey says he’ll run for Kerry’s Senate seat in the special election:
If Kerry isn’t confirmed until mid-January at the earliest, he won’t resign until then, and the special election won’t be held until 145-160 days after the resignation (with Governor Deval Patrick appointing a placeholder to the Senate until the special election is held), so we’re looking at a June special election, when all the college kids in Boston have gone back to their home states and when turnout likely will be lowest. I like Scott Brown’s chances against an old fart like Markey who has spent his entire life in Congress.
Ed Markey was sworn in as a member of Congress on November 2, 1976, and will have served over 36-and-one-half years in the House by the time the special election is held. What’s the record for the longest House career before being elected to the Senate? I remember DJ pointing out, when Ben Cardin was elected to the Senate in 2006 after 20 years in the House, how rare it was for someone to give up so much House seniority for a Senate seat.
OK, I looked it up, and, at least among men who served in Congress at least 36 years, the most years of House service prior to serving in the Senate were 32 years by Frederick Gillett (R-MA). Perhaps someone was elected to the Senate after serving more than 32 years in the House, but certainly not after serving 36+ years. So Markey’s election to the Senate would be unprecedented.
I could care less if the bitch testifies. I do care if my Republican senator votes for John f’n Kerry. If he does, he will not receive my vote in the future. I did not vote for a senator that approves of traitors. Do I expect anything less? Of course, Republicans have no principles and no ability to articulate positive values and policy for our republic.
