Two high-profile entrenched New England Democrats -- Senator Christopher Dodd of Connecticut and Representative Barney Frank of Massachusetts -- have new challengers.
Republican Peter Schiff, a broker, financial pundit, and supporter for Ron Paul, is in an increasingly crowded Republican primary for Dodd's seat.
"He inherited the seat," Schiff said of Dodd today on Fox Business Network. It's like he's living in the House of Lords."

Meanwhile, Republican Keith Messina, a mechanical engineer, announced today he's running against Frank in the Fourth Congressional District of Massachusetts. In a statement, Messina promised a "fresh perspective," pledged to focus on jobs, and said he supports federal recognition of same-sex marriage.

Barney Frank is angling for an appointment in the Obama administration. You get the impression he thinks he’s going to lose.
A RINO because they won’t caucus for Nancy Pelosi as Speaker of the House.
I can’t say that Messina sounds like much of an improvement. Maybe he won’t run a male prostitution ring out of his DC office, but it sounds as if he will support those who do.
Wait is that the Euro Pacific Capital guy? If so, I might donate to this.
Is the rino a pervert like Frank?
Yes! I like him a hell of a lot better than the WWF wife McMahan, she donated to Rahm Emanuael.
Baby steps.
Massachusetts sounds like it got hit by some kind of infectiou alien object and they are walking around looking like humans of sorts.
For a real Conservative that is running against Barney
go to www.sholleyforcongress.us
The RINO’s in Mass told him that they will NOT support him and this is a direct quote: “You are too conservative.”.
I kid you not!
He ran in 2008 but lost. The RINO’s did not support him then
so for the 2010 elections he has a professional staff and and has started early to raise funds and get his name and policy positions out there. The RINO’s have paniced!
Support Earl Sholley for Congress!
If we are going to flip the house, we have to donate!
Even if the Republican challenger to Frank is the second coming of Olympia Snowe, everyone here should contribute as much as possible to his/her campaign.
Yeah I’d vote for Sholley (another district), got to talk to him for a bit at the Boston Tea Party this past Spring, seemed alright. Don’t know this other guy and don’t like what I’ve heard so far.
“Even if the Republican challenger to Frank is the second coming of....” Seems like there is two now, hmm that’s never happened before.
not sure about schiff on social issues.. but for financial issues there would be no more conservative voice in the senate than schiff.. he is pure free market..
“Even if the Republican challenger to Frank is the second coming of....”
Destroy the corrupt SEIU/La Raza/ACORN Voter Fraud Machine, and the people of New York might actually get a REAL CHOICE in who they vote for.
Agreed. I don’t know about social issues either but I suspect he has a libertarian streak.
Schiff would be a huge upgrade.
Then he is not a Conservative. No surprise, but then again the Republican Party platform does not support same sex marriage either. In MA, it might be a slight improvement, as in anyone but the hideous Frank.
Schiff would be a great addition to the Senate, he is brilliant on the economy.
