Just clearing the way for another Kennedy to poison Congress! Another Kennedy ne’er-do-well will run and likely be handed the seat as a stepping stone to taking on Scott Brown in 6 years to reclaim uncle Ted’s seat - the rightful Kennedy seat as the Dumbocrats in Ma. see it! Let’s hope the district voters don’t see it this way and send any Dem. who runs in the district packing!
This is one of the more marginal parts of Massachusetts. Republicans occasionally get elected in this area, and Scott Brown won it by a wide margin.
