Why wait? The successful canidate in Massachusetts has got to be able to show he’s as heartless and underhanded as any Kennedy ~ it’s TIME TO ANNOUNCE TODAY!
WHY NOT, Smart guy
Rather have ANOTHER RINO in the Senate, than to be the candidate in 2012.....
Since we won’t get a Conservative in Massachusetts, Romney would work, but he has to step up pretty soon.
Yes.
IIRC he sold his Belmont mansion and bought a big spread in CA. I think his time in MA is over.
Mitt Romney ain’t running.
Joe Kennedy will be running.
No obvious candidate for the GOP. But it is a workable race with the low turnout in January.
I think he probably distanced himself a little too much from Massachusetts while running for the republican nomination for President to go back there and win a statewide election now.
Ted Kennedy beat Romney by 17 points when he ran for the Senate in 1994. When Romney left the statehouse in 2007 his approval rating was about 35%. Obama carried the state by 26 points. Why on earth does anyone think that the people of Massachusetts are chomping at the bits to elect Romney senator?
A few flips and a few flops and he’ll be ready to go for it.
Sorry Allah, anyone but a RINO. May as well sign it over to the RATS now without an election at all.
Romney is no Republican, therefore such an announcement would not be embraced by the REAL Republicans.
AP been away snoozing too long?
Run Mitt Run !
I know there’s a lot of Romney detractors on FR, but I’d like to see him run and win. It would probably destroy what ever is left of Romney’s presidential hopes, but it would definitely “change” everything in the Senate.
In truth, as much as I like Governor Romney, its hard to see him winning the Republican nomination next time - when he couldn’t beat McCain last time. Here’s a chance for him to really make a difference.
Admit it Freepers - even if you dislike Romney - you’ve got to be happy about the prospects of at least a reasonably reliable conservative vote in the Senate seat occupied by Kennedy for most of our lifetimes .
it would take courage, but mitt romney
is more comfortable attacking the little children
of gov. palin. coward romney.
This is Massachusetts. I’m pretty sure Red Ted’s job has already been “Blagojeviched”.
It’s Romney. It’s Massachusetts. Who cares?
Democrats can pick up ground in the South by donning the blue dog airs, but the other side no longer has a viable equivalent in New England. And especially not in Mass, where the legislatures are currently tilted at about 85-15%.
I swear there must be several people here who spend like 14 hours each day waiting to pounce on any poor person who mentions Mitt Romney in even a moderately good light.
Can anyone but a Rat win in assachusetts?!?
