Makes me crazy....if a doctor dies, does his wife get to take over his practice????????????? Can’t understand why they allow spouses to take the deceased’s “elected” position. I hope they give the other guy a chance.

Her husband was giving Clinton a run for his money before his campaign treasurer ran off with the money in the '92 primaries.

His best line was Bill Clinton as the 'Panda Bear'.

I doubt that any Republican can get elected to Congress in Massachusetts now, even in CD5 which is arguably the most “conservative” in the state (which is admittedly not saying very much). Many Republicans who used to live in that district (including yours truly) moved a few miles north to New Hampshire a long time ago.

Lots of moonbats too if I’m not mistaken.

The Boston Herald also endorsed Senator Ted Kennedy’s ‘06 re-election bid. The Boston Herald isn’t as conservative as you might think it is other than a handful of conservative columnists including Howie Carr.

Some, perhaps, but the NH counties adjacent to Mass. (Rockingham/Hillsborough) are now the "reddest" in the state. My experience has been that most of the liberal locusts have come from Vermont, Maine, New Jersey, and New York - including our new Congressthing, Carol (Ché Guevarra) Porter.

Both parties do it. The widow has a 85% chance of getting to “keep” the seat for their party. If it didn’t work so well they wouldn’t do it. Politics, pure politics..........

.She,all by herself, will get us out of Iraq.

From what I've seen, Ogonowski is running for Congress on a platform of "I can help our district" and Tsongas is running for Congress on a platform of "I can make Bush look bad".

Tsongas is a solid supporter of immigration reform along the lines of the Kennedy-McCain bill - a well-structured combination of border security and a path to citizenship for the more than 12 million illegal immigrants estimated to have settled here. The Fifth District is among the most diverse in the state - a place where wave upon wave of immigrants have settled.

Unbelievable.

Amen to that. That’s how we got stuck with Hodes, Che-Porter, Lynch the midget, and the first Dem legislature in nearly a century.
