Massachusetts Attorney General Martha Coakley appears to be the first candidate in a special election for the Senate seat left open by the death of Edward Kennedy.

[nickcarraway]

Doesn't she know this seat is the property of the Kennedys?

[Old Retired Army Guy]

Don’t worry. If Joe Kennedy decides to run, they will all pull out.

[pray4liberty]

Geez. The Devil must have told the Kennedys that the world would stop turning if there wasn’t a Kennedy in Congress.

[vg0va3]

She must not have heard that Sen. Hatch has given that seat to Kennedy’s widow.

I am sure she will get the word and withdraw. Just a simple misunderstanding.

What — they're actually going to have an election?

How reactionary can they get?

I wonder if this Democrat had anything to do with railroading the Amarault family into prison over absolutely nothing.

I see in her bio where she fought hard to bring child abusers to justice.

She's just another leftist, limousine liberal.

Oops. I forgot to post her mug shot.

What — they're actually going to have an election?

They have to. It's the law Kennedy got pushed through to keep Romney from appointing a Senate candidate in 2004 (the old law, ha, ha.)

[massgopguy]

She’s a media whore.

[ridesthemiles]

Looks like Jodie Foster’s sister.

[trisham]

Oh, no. Not Coakley.

[Mr. K]

is this seat election open to dems and republicans?

if so, who is the republican candiate?

[Mojave]

I hope there are hundreds.

[CommerceComet]

Doesn't she know this seat is the property of the Kennedys?

Boy, that really confuses the issues. To whom do the applicants give their "pay to play" bribes? The governor or the Kennedy family?

I was curious about which Senate seat was going to cost the most to buy: Illinois or Massachusetts.

[outpostinmass2]

So far nobody that could win, Kerry-Healy, Brown all light weights. Coakly was asleep at the wheel while the FBI was busy bringing down state reps and city councilmen on bribery charges. All within 1/2 mile from her office.

She is useless.

[outpostinmass2]

The U.S. President wants this seat bad so I will say Massachusetts in a landslide.

[Mr. K]

I would think RIGHT NOW is the only time a Republican could win.

what about Romney?

[Agamemnon]

Imagine if we could get Curt Schilling to run. Kennedys are Kennedys, but not one of them ever played on a winning World Series team and not a one ever shed his blood for the Red Sox!

[Clintonfatigued]

Martha Coakley is a moonbat. The Kennedy admirers will approve of her.

[fieldmarshaldj]

Coakley ? She is about as inspiring as an ice pack to the genitals.
