The Kennedy political dynasty is shaking in the aftershock of U.S. Sen. Scott Brown’s earth-shattering election, with a new poll showing U.S. Rep. Patrick Kennedy losing ground as he faces a well-financed GOP foe backed by Brown’s top strategists.
The WPRI-12 poll showed the Rhode Island Democrat with a 56 percent unfavorability rating in his district - a negative that grows to 62 percent statewide.
Only 35 percent of voters in Kennedy’s district said they would vote to re-elect him. Another 31 percent said they’d consider a different candidate and 28 percent said they would vote to replace him, according to the poll.
Republican John J. Loughlin II, a veteran state lawmaker, formally announced his campaign yesterday against Kennedy, saying the son of liberal icon Edward M. Kennedy is out of touch with Rhode Island voters as he seeks a ninth two-year term
Tell me where to send my money.
What a miracle it would be be for Dem RI to finally end the Kennedy dynasty by eliminating one of the really dumb liberals in that state. Forget Kennedy, this naif is dumber than a pound of nails. The Pub could be better just by showing up to a committee mt.
His village doesn’t even want this idiot.
Nevertheless, thanks to Specter, Einhorn enjoyed 20 years of freedom he wasn’t entitled to. I remember the extradition case and the role it played in furthering poor relations between the U.S. and France, but I was unaware of Specter’s earlier involvement. So thank you for the excellent synopsis of the case and explaining Specter’s role. I don’t know why this case isn’t mentioned in discussions about Specter. Perhaps people will start raising the issue once the general election campaign is underway.
