The Senate Race in Mass. & the Dems are Losing it! Ed Schultz, Bob Schrum Keith Olbermann! These people are Losing it! !

Ted Kennedy has been the Senator from Mass. since he turned 30. His brother Jack was Elected Senator in 1952 & was Elected President in 1960. Teddy was too young to follow so Mass. sent in a "substitute" 'till Teddy Turned 30'. (Sorta like what happened w/Joe Biden when he was 29). Teddy turned 30, got Elected to the Senate & was there for 47 Years...
  • Question?...How many people do you know that have held the same job for 47 Years ?
Teddy, "the liberal lion of the senate" passes away in August. Massachusettes Law says an Election must take place to replace the deceased Senator. But NO! Teddy had written a letter to the Ma. Legislators while on his Death Bed asking that the State Governor be able to "Appoint" a replacement. The Legislators agree and the Gov appoints a Temp. (a side note...when Sen John Kerry (who served in Viet Nam) ran for Pres in 2004 vs "Bush". Teddy sent a letter to the Ma Legislators requesting that the then "republican" Governor should not be allowed to appoint a Successor to Sen John Kerry if he should be Elected President. Of course< style="font-size:78%;">(who served in Viet Nam) lost the Election and things calmed down in Massachusetes/Politically speaking...until Scott Brown decided to run for "Teddy's Seat".
  • I sure wish I knew the proper spelling of Massachusettes...
Anyone still reading?...Hello?....should I continue? Ferris...???

I LOVED watching the concession speech. I'm no political consultant like James Carvelle, he does make great ice cream, but that Marcia, uh Martha Patrick, is one stiff candidate. The Dems thought they could march out a statue and they'd win.

Don't politicians listen to the people? People are fed up with both Houses doing what THEY want and ignoring the "we the people" part of representive government. I love the fact that Scott Brown refered to it as "The People's Seat" not "Ted Kennedy's Seat".

Get rid of the other 99 and then start on the Congress.

it was 5%...The Boston Globe predicted Martha/Marcia would win by 4%. The Polls showed Martha/Marcia winning by 30% on Christmas Eve when she went on Vacation. She returned mid-January and was up by 10%...and that is when "talk radio" started to pay attention. Martha won the State Atty General position w/ 73% of the vote. She was not an unknown, she was not unliked. She was just spouting the Wrong Ideas...
