I lived in Mass. when he ran against Fat Boy Kennedy, and had a lot of respect for him back then, even though it seemed like a doomed mission. It took a lot of chutzpah and a lot of conviction to stand up to the sleazy and underhanded lies of the Kennedys.

I agree. It was the first time in years that Kennedy had to work to get reelected (I was going to say that he worked up a sweat but thought that image was too revolting). These days, Kennedy won't even deign to debate those running against him. I have never voted for that bloated barnacle and am amazed that anyone would. Yet, there he is, 150 years old and still in office.

I would like to see Mitt elected president, not only because he's the best of the candidates we have running, but because it would irritate the hell out Teddy knowing his former opponent got the job he wanted but could never have after Chappaquiddick.

I hadn’t even thought about it, but you’re right and that’s a triple-plus bonus that might even energize the most jaded of moderate to conservative voters.

There is no way that I can summarize in words how utterly venal, disgusting, and malicious was Fat Boy’s response to the challenge posed by Mitt in 1994. It was kind of sad for Mitt because he was thrown off-balance by the guttersniping of Fat Boy, but at least he finished it with his integrity intact.

Those many years against the Kennedys and the Bulgers and the despicable Massachusetts Assembly have left him with at least one thing that might prove valuable in Washington: there is no doubt that Mitt has been tried and tested in the most corrupt and venal cesspool of Democrat “values” that can be found in America.

Unlike GWB, Mitt shoud have very little trouble taking on the Reids, Pelosis, and even Specters in Congress.
