“I’m about 98% sure that I read somewhere that GWB had a deal with Nelson not to run a strong challenger in 2006, because he worked with him on taxes, WOT and judges.”
That is revolting and infuriating.
Anyhow I forgot the new MA Senator may be in place before the final vote on Obama care that alone makes this a race of paramount importance. `
You can’t win by not trying. They haven’t tried to a federal race win in MA since at least 1998 when one of the incumbents ousted in 1996 ran again. I’m not sure but I don’t think the NRCC gave much mind to Jim Ogonowski in that special election a couple years ago. He lost by 6 points.
The Nelson deal was a very bad one. Maybe the Bushes don’t have the street fighter instinct in them? The GOP has been missing a spine since Lee Atwater died, IMO.
RE: ObamaCare. Brown winning should kill this monsterous bill off.
Jim Ogonowski should consider running again. Tsongas is inept and useless, even by Massholechusetts standards.
Is there anything in the Constitution that prohibits an ex-president from being elected VP?
If not, if said ex-president was elected twice would that make him/her ineligible to be elected VP?
