Republican U.S. Senate candidate Scott Brown is blasting Gov. Deval Patrick’s administration for calling the National Guard to check whether Brown’s enrollment takes him out of the heated race to replace the late Edward M. Kennedy.

I’m a Bears fan, not too happy right now.
But it could be worse, I could be a Bills fan. Man did they screw the pooch.
Never underestimate the value of obnoxious leftists. Coakley could become another lightning rod to unify Republicans.
For sure; both the Bears and Bills (and Raiders) SHOULD have won.
Good point. But it would be nice to have a Senator that is...human?!
Honestly, I’d take Ted over her. She helped railroad the Fells Acres people. She ruined their lives and their reputations. Ted killed one woman, Coakley helped destroy the Arsenault family.
Very true. Word has it that the Kennedys prefer Capuano, perhaps partly because he represents the district that Joe Kennedy, Tip O’Neill, and JFK represented. To have been elected to represent Cambridge, he would have had to kissed the Kennedy family ring numerous times. However, EMILY’S List and other feminist groups are firmly in Coakley’s corner and if the party establishment were to gang up on her, it could cause an inter-party split.
Interesting you should bring up the Fells Acres case. I thought it was the previous Middlesex County DA who had filed dubious charges and that Coakley inherited the case after being elected.
Hey, she’s just making her bones as a Democrat. They’ve raised the bar since Ted entered the Senate. He only bagged one (that we know of).
I’m going by what Howie Carr was discussing. Coakley was in on the Fella Acres case, for sure. Exactly when she was, I don’t know, but Howie and various callers agreed she was in on the railroading.
RE: Kennedys prefering Capuano. I’d love to see an inter-party split. Too bad Lynch pulled out, he could have capitalized on that. FWIW, Lynch is pro-life, luke-warm at best regarding ‘ObamaCare’ and anti-gay ‘marriage’.
Damn, that’s cold. True though!
No “non-Democrat†will win this seat, and no conservative will win this seat. Massachusetts really is a one-party, pro-leftist state, and the majority of voters really are lifetime leftists. It’s a waste of, both, time and money for any R as well as for any “non-leftist†to run for anything in Massachusetts. Even if Scott Brown is really using this race in order to help create some name recognition for himself for any possible future runs for Massachusetts political office, he will only end up losing badly anyways every time! Massachusetts is always a lost cause for all non-Democrats and, even more, for all non-leftists. Even when there is a R Governor (all RINOs btw), the state legislature still maintains all of the ongoing political clout!
The words in my above post are non-Democrat and non-leftist.
Normally I would agree with you but I heard Brad Jones, the minority leader for the MA House on the radio this AM. He said local elections this week for Mayors across the state showed that many incumbents came in second or third in their races. That gives me some hope that maybe some changes are coming. Will that translate as a victory for Brown? Probably not, but some turnover is on the way.
I hope that you are correct on this, but the “vote for nothing but leftists” political trend by the majority of Massachusetts voters is more than sixty years old in Massachusetts. The Massachusetts GOP is still a very weak “shell” with no actual political clout of any kind. Also, the recent polls of “More than sixty percent of people in Massachusetts still want ObamaCare” and “Most voters in Massachusetts would vote for Joe Kennedy to be the next U.S. Senator, if he changes his mind and runs for the seat”, convinces me that the majority of Massachusetts voters really won’t change their leftist ways. I still see all non-leftists candidates, at every political level, throughout Massachusetts being beaten very badly, yet again, during the next general elections, with no actual end in sight.
