On a sidenote, what's this about? You like Kennedy or something? Do you think he's good for Massachusetts?
If I have to answer that question honestly I would have to say yes, Ted Kennedy is good for MA. Let me explain though (please let me preface this as saying I can not stand the man, or the Kennedys in general).
Ted Kennedy is old school politics. Tip O’Neil’s “all politics is local” is pretty much his philosophy. He will do anything for his constituents. He will make all of his resources available for his constituents. He doesn’t check the donor list like Kerry does before helping them.
The state needs funding for x,y or z? Ted Kennedy will do his best to secure it.
Now that said, he is horrible for the Nation. He is a true socialist, and is borderline senile. However he will hold his seat for as long as he wants it because he takes care of his constituents. That is it in a nutshell.
