There are more independents registered than either Dems or GOP in MA.
Hey, in the last ten years, MA has elected GOP Govs. Why not a Senator.
Sam, I see your point. If he doesn’t run an aggressive campaign, or hasn’t to date, he’s probably cooked.
I’d love to see it happen, but I think the best chances are with a state with a GOP governor (or about to have one) and an ailing, aged, enfeebled Democratic Senator. Byrd is no good, WV has a Democratic Governor. New Jersey, depending on the inauguration date, will have a GOP Governor, and Frank Lautenberg has sounded to me like he cannot be a sure bet to make it to the vote - supposedly at or near the State of the Union address. Anyone want to handicap other states?
If there are more independents registered in MA, then the Republican needs to campaign against socialism rather than his opponent. They have 60 votes for socialism now and we can stop it in MA next month if the candidate isn’t afraid to tell the voters the truth. It not about the Kennedy legacy, it’s about socialism.
