The people of MA will be in deep denial and mourning once “their barney” is gone. How can they sleep at night without him there to “protect” them?
Did you notice that one reason he left is because is new district is nowhere near as gerrymandered as his old one? He only won 54% of the vote last time and 2012 looks to be a dismal year for the Dems. They may even lose a few seats in MA.
