A regular undamaged Dem vs. a Republican AND an Independent GOP-leaner in a heavily Dem district ? C’mon, dude, you know how it will turn out. We needed that drug-addled runt to be the rodent standard bearer.

Joan was treated much worse than any of the Kennedy daughters and daughters-in-law. Ethel was independently wealthy. Jackie had the strength of character to make the rules on her own terms. Joan had neither of these attributes and, worse, all the women in that family were jealous of her stunning beauty. From beginning to end they treated Joan like crap out of jealousy and pettiness.

“.....our chances of winning this seat just went to zilch.”

I think otherwise. As long as there is Hussien and the Congress being controlled by Reid and Pelosi, I think that no democrat will be safe in November. Those three are becoming radioactive poison to the American people. Scott Brown and the governor’s races in VA and NJ are testimony to that.
