A website, Facebook page and petition urging Massachusetts Rep. Joseph Kennedy III to challenge Ed Markey for his U.S. Senate seat are picking up steam as a media report indicates Kennedy is, in fact, mulling a run.

The New York Times, citing an anonymous Democratic official, reported Saturday morning that Kennedy, 38, is thinking about a campaign against Markey, 73, and would decide in the coming weeks.

Last month, a poll asked voters if they would vote for Kennedy or Markey for Senate, according to Politico. A Democratic official told the Times that Kennedy paid for the survey.

Markey was elected to the Senate in a June 2013 special election. From 1976 until 2013, he was the U.S. Representative for the state’s 7th congressional district.

“No chance for his win Sam Giancana is dead.”

The name’s Kennedy, although I don’t know if this one has destroyed enough lives and families to be as popular with the Democrats there. So I don’t know either way.

The Kennedys, like the Bushes, the Clintons and the nobamas need to just go away and leave our precious country in peace.

His father is JPK II who leads Citizens Energy Corporation, a non-profit energy company.

I assure you that this is a fine upstanding and honest business known for paying its suppliers promptly and on time. I cannot imagine a finer corporation in America than this publicly spirited Kennedy led operation. Based upon personal experience I would gladly consider doing business with this company again in the future under appropriate terms.

Because we all know that effete, liberal trust-babies named Kennedy always make the best U.S. Senators. And because they breed like the chinchillas they wear, there’ll always be a few of them in the political pipeline, just waiting to hatch at the least opportune moment.

Can you name one Kennedy who ever had a real job in the private sector? Have any of them ever earned an honest paycheck by bagging groceries or driving a truck, or any kind of real job? If you can you deserve a prize. I am surprised that there is any money left in the Kennedy trust funds after generations of grifters.

Well, he’s a Kennedy. He’s entitled to it.

Wasn’t there a different Joe Kennedy who ran as a Libertarian in the Scott Brown special election? Maybe we should talk him into running again.
