I do love the “Democrats are hoping for a Kennedy” line in this article. What the media doesn’t want to address is that the majority of the nation, unlike the northeast, is sick and tired of the Kennedy’s and consider them nothing more than wealthy elitists who are set apart from the criminal element of our society only by the privilege of wealth. Only the northeast is dumb enough to even field a Kennedy in an election.
And only MA is dumb enough to poss. vote another Kennedy in. I will say that at least Patrick Kennedy is stepping down,
though he helped to defeat his own cause with stuff like
the ambien 2:30 am vote. As Howie Carr puts it, “He had to retire because of illness—the voters got sick of him”
In other words, for once even Rhode Island woke up.
