Uh, Kerry isn't Kennedy. Beatty has an excellent chance of winning.
If they in fact do kick Kerry out on his pompous arse, my opinion of MA voters will go up very considerably........But I won't believe it til it happens. Maybe the Deval make them do it!......
You don’t fully understand how Massachusetts politics work. The Democratic Party has been deeply embedded here in Massachusetts since the 1940’s. The Republican Party of Massachusetts has been profoundly weak since the 1940’s. If it wasn’t for Michael Dukakis disappointing the majority of state voters by badly screwing things up while he was Governor, the Republicans wouldn’t of even held onto the Governor/Lt. Governor seats from 1990 to 2006. The U.S. House Banking Scandal also help elect more Republicans to a variety of political offices than usual in Massachusetts, but it didn’t last long. In Massachusetts, the majority of money, support and organization efforts has been with the Democratic Party only. Many generations of people in Massachusetts are brought up believing that they should never, ever vote for Republicans at any level for any reason, and many of them go through their whole lives voting only for Democrats. All of the negative things that are said about Republicans at every political level are just believed to be the truth. This is Massachusetts.
