BALTIMORE - It is a sweltering day as Lieutenant Governor Kathleen Kennedy Townsend descends the stairs of the ''Great Blacks in Wax Museum'' and enters the mock belly of a slave ship. The daughter of Robert F. Kennedy, who wants to become the first woman governor of Maryland, is clearly emotional as she views lifelike models of chained children and listens to a raspy, recorded voice that repeats: ''Remember! Remember!''

[Ann Archy]

Come on.....Democrats can have 110% of Blacks voting for their party. What is she worried abot. The entire Kennedy political family has been based on Voter fraud.....this will be a cake walk in Maryland. Loosen up KKT.

I wonder if the corpses of Baltimore will come out and vote again, as they did in Glendenning versus Sauerbray.

[RightOnline]

True..........but why doesn't Maryland understand that she's a Kennedy and, therefore, entitled to the office?

So funny! This morning, Imus showed MSNBC's news reader, Rick Sanchez say to Jesse Jackson, "We have to take a break, Rev. Sharpton, we'll be right back."

I'm still laughing....even funnier than the news that Hillary got booed yesterday by NYPD/FD as they rallied for higher pay.

[Cincinatus' Wife]

Goodness, I bet he's lying low for awhile!

[Cincinatus' Wife]

It's nice that the BOSTON Globe gives front page campaign advertising to a Maryland candidate.

But Ehrlich has pulled even in the polls without spending a penny on ads.

And Townsend lost the only race she ever ran on her own, for Congress in 1986.

Praying for a sequel!

[GodBlessRonaldReagan]

US Representative Elijah Cummings of Baltimore, a rousing speaking with a booming baritone, introduced Townsend at the Great Blacks in Wax Museum by saying that people shouldn't pay attention to critics who don't like how she looks or talks. ''I don't care if she stutters!''

Yeah, and GWB is a moron when he stutters....hypocrite!

[oldironsides]

Kennedy Townsend considered being a nun? She has come a long way since then. She campaigned for Gore in 2000 in West Chester, Pennsylvania and was a pro choicer all the way. There was no mistake about it. Kennedy Townsend needs
to hear from the Catholic Diocese of Baltimore in a very big way this election. It is time they took a stand.
You can expect another filthy pre election trick from the
Democrats on election eve. The very ugly assertion that the last GOP candidate was a racist was so bad that many
minority Democrat politicians became sickened and made public statements that they believed no such thing.
Watch for the whispers to become a scream to activate minority Baltimore voters for Democrats. It worked for
Clinton and his wife every time.

Townsend, who once considered becoming a nun, has been portrayed as a different sort of Kennedy, more cerebral but less comfortable than most family members on the political stage.

"Cerebral?" BWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAH!!!!!

''I don't care if she stutters!'' Cummings said as he ended his introduction. To which Townsend said, awkwardly: ''Amen, Elijah! Hallelujah!''

BWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!!

p.s. Anyway to get that Townsend "Hallelujah" tape so we can hear it online?

[governsleastgovernsbest]

I also got a kick out of KKT being labelled "cerebral." The recent Weekly Standard profile portrayed her as a dimwit.

I don't recall ever seeing her speak before, but she popped on somewhere on TV yesterday. She was so lame that, but for the fact that I want her to lose, it was almost embarrassing.

I'm still laughing....even funnier than the news that Hillary got booed yesterday by NYPD/FD as they rallied for higher pay.

Do tell! I've been out of the loop for a while, and I definitely need to know about Hillary getting a second helping of boos from New York's finest!

[Tijeras_Slim]

My guess is that any Kennedy who has more than a limbic system could be considered "cerebral".

Kathleen Kennedy Townsend descends the stairs of the ''Great Blacks in Wax Museum''

They'll vote for her. It's great to see stories like this when the aristocrats realize they are living in a country where they have to compete with the Middle Class.

[YaYa123]

The news gal on IMUS made it sound as if Hillary got thunderous boos, but the NYTimes, Daily News, and Post, all report it, but buried down in the articles.

[sweetliberty]

This is a pretty good article. Thought you might be interested.

[OldPossum]

Folks, folks, this is Maryland we're talking about here. When crunch time comes, that donkey's tail will be pulled, as Ms. Sauerbray found out, twice.

[cactusSharp]

ever notice the DEAD VOTE is always discovered but the vote total is NEVER corrected.....just more lies and theft from a Kennedy......if God started another flood in Mass.
would even 8 be saved ?
