The Kennedy political dynasty is shaking in the aftershock of U.S. Sen. Scott Browns 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 Browns 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 Kennedys district said they would vote to re-elect him. Another 31 percent said theyd 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
Teddy was very popular in the senate, Everyone liked Teddy. Remember Hatch’s friendship? He had the same qualities as Clinton: you knew he was a scoundrel, but face-to-face he was likeable. A type of jovial, dissolute lord, with black moods.
Patches called Brown’s election a “joke”.

Idiotic enough to get into a public fight with his bishop.
“(I remember reading (and thinking)that I will be long gone before they are.)”
I think that was the plan....No one left to qualify for standing in any lawsuit. Remeber the WWI was started with an assassination....And look at all the “things” about JFK that have only come out recently....
Anyone that believes there was one bullet, one shooter is living in lala land.
Well, rules are made to be broken. You have to remember that the country went ape after Kennedy’s assassination. The whole world in fact. JFK became a kind of Henry V of England as depicted by Shakespeare, except that Henry V was almost the real McCoy. The best verdict on the Kennedys was given by DeGaulle. He was quite taken by Jacky, but later when sometime talked about how nobly she had acted, he shrugged and said she will end on on someone’s yacht. It was a show, and now that show is over.
Obviously you didn't happen to notice the poster is only 20 years old, and lives in Australia.
South Carolina has its own serious education problems. I wouldn't be braggin' or dissin' if I were you.
FReegards!
YES,YES, YES! And I still may have one more opportunity to vote against him (no one would believe how dumb this idiot is) I’m moving to VA but until I sell my house in RI I’m remaining on the voter rolls. I’m torn, I want to sell my house But, I really really want to be in on the vote that... how shall I say it? Returns Patches to the dreaded private sector. Ha, ha, ha, ha, ha. I’m lovin it!
Wow, Republicans win in the Mob State? Unfathonable.
2010 is going to be an absolute bloodbath for Democrats.
Odds are at least 50/50 Fauxbama is impeached in 2011, and it will be driven by members of his own party.
Who besides you really cares what Washington pols might have thought of him?
How many of those bastards are now going to win "healthcare" for Uncle Teddy and baby-Doc Obozo? Sure, where are they now? Did you happen to catch poker-bitch Landrieu on the floor of the Senate justifying herself and her smarmy vote buy-off? Did she say she was doing it for Ted, or just for the money?
Sample some of the postings here and you'll learn what emancipated New Englanders thought of him, and particularly those in MA who, when finally given a real chance to do so chose to replace a privileged sot with a real winner.
FReegards!
That’s awesome!
[I wouldn’t be braggin’ or dissin’ if I were you.]
Number one I didn’t KNOW he was an Australian and secondly, I KNOW about the crappy education system in this state.
I’m originally from New York, if I had been born and educated here, I’d probably be ‘braggin’ about it.
Oh, I agree that Teddy is history, was history the day they buried him, because he left no heir apparent.
Sen. Scott Brown's (R-Mass.) election has been shown to be "a joke," the son of the late Sen. Edward Kennedy (D-Mass.) said Thursday. Rep. Patrick Kennedy (D-R.I.) castigated Brown for having pushed to be sworn in ahead of schedule to permanently fill the Senate seat left vacant by the congressman's father's death in August. "Brown's whole candidacy was shown to be a joke today when he was sworn in early in order to cast his first vote as an objection to Obama's appointment to the NLRB," Kennedy said Thursday.
QUESTION
If they get rid of 'Don't Ask, Don't Tell' in the military, will Patches come out of the closet?
A fitting last gasp of “Camelot”—with all its sleaze and snake-oil.
I thought it was the correct plural for Kennedy.
Singular: He’s a Kennedy.
Plural: Who are the Kennedys?
Singular possive: It is Ted Kennedy’s seat.
Plural possive: It is the Kennedys’ seat.
At least that is how I understand the rules. Just remember though, the rules are not written in stone. Get three grammar guides and compare them. You’ll find the disagree in many areas.
Yes, for plural possessives, that is correct.
I love the example you used. LOL!
No other way to explain the special treatment they got after the death of young John Kennedy...the burial-at-sea aboard a U.S. military ship...for no other reason than he was a Kennedy and ol' Teddy's demanding it, no doubt.
This is the time. I wish Governor Caceria would run. Too often in RI they run really weak candidates against Democrats.
On Dad, the British embraced him and his family, only to see him echo the defeatism of the aristocracy. We came darn close letting Hitler win in Europe. If the Japanese had not attacked Pearl Harbor, we might has stood back and let Britain make the deal that Hitler expected. To get a glimpse into the times, read Pat Buchanan’s book. He, more or less, shares the mindset of the isolationists of the time.
