The Kennedy political dynasty is shaking in the aftershock of U.S. Sen. Scott Brown’s earth-shattering election, with a new poll showing U.S. Rep. Patrick Kennedy losing ground as he faces a well-financed GOP foe backed by Brown’s top strategists.
The WPRI-12 poll showed the Rhode Island Democrat with a 56 percent unfavorability rating in his district - a negative that grows to 62 percent statewide.
Only 35 percent of voters in Kennedy’s district said they would vote to re-elect him. Another 31 percent said they’d consider a different candidate and 28 percent said they would vote to replace him, according to the poll.
Republican John J. Loughlin II, a veteran state lawmaker, formally announced his campaign yesterday against Kennedy, saying the son of liberal icon Edward M. Kennedy is out of touch with Rhode Island voters as he seeks a ninth two-year term
I’m sure that he forgot the sarc /sarc tags. LOL
They have always been an untouchable, and sleazy, New England aristocracy. I think what's happening now is a combination of two things.
In addition to the anti-incumbent movement sweeping the nation, the generation that can remember JFK's assasination is dying off.
Kennedy clan got its money illegally importing booze during prohabition.
Then daddy Joe started pushing his sons to go in to politics and they have pushed the envelope of liberalism and big over reaching gub mint ever since.
Thos of us who do not care for welfare and big govt hate these maggots.
Don’t sit there pius trying to shove your liberal values up my ass using my own money.
Other than that oh yeah and that little drowning incident, the rape, etc they are great.
For plurals you put the apostrophe after the s.
As in: “the Kennedys’ collective boot on the throat of America ended when Scott Brown was elected”

He sounds a lot like Scott Brown.
Loughlin is a Republican patriot with political experience, and will make a terrific candidate that can beat Patches. I can’t imagine even thinking of supporting Cianci, a convicted felon who left the GOP over 27 years ago. And if Cianci runs as an independent (which is how he’s run for office since the early 1980s),he’d likely split the anti-Kennedy vote and get Patches reelected.
Are you talking about the primary or the general? Nixon's first term was robbed from him in Chicago in the general election. Johnson had no business being VP.
Could we have a Kennedy-free Washington for the first time in my lifetime?
Make it 90% silver and issue it at $5 face value, and you've got a deal.
You call it that?
Bet you say "Avenue of the Americas", too.
1. One needs to be deceased for 5 years before being put on currency. This law was broken.
2. Currency design is signed into being for ‘x’ years by law. Again, IIRC, the Franklin half dollar had a few more years to go before it either expired as a design or was renewed. Another law broken.
I might be off on number 2, but number 1 I am sure of. I don't have time to research now, but like all things Kennedy, they had there own set of rules.
Well, Florida got Cape Canaveral back...
PJ O’Rourke once said that to document the damage that Teddy Kennedy alone had done to America would deforest the continent.
“....Patches, Good Riddance It’s time for you to sit on the beach at Chapaquidic, painting little faces on the pebbles next to your fathers “accident”, and STFU!”....
What he said.
...Ex-RI resident here as well
People in RI, among those hurting most from Democrat economies, are still steadfast believers in socialist “democracies”.
And the next thing your going to tell me is that 7th Avenue is Adam Clayton Powell Blvd and Lenox Avenue is Malcolm X Boulevard.
They have changed all the highway signs to RFK bridge so tell a tourist follow the Triboro bridge sign, he or she will never find it.
Darlin’, you must not have been paying attention!
Patrick’s seat will be easy to take as he’s a blithering left wing nut.
Well, they are right. Which adds to the insult, and to the injury, that they are.
As will I. It's long past time for the Kennedys to move on. Their time is past.
