I was thinking about this very thing...
Kennedy was the last of his generation of Kennedys. I used to live in a small town that was run by one family. If they wanted something, it happened. When they died, their kids tried to run the town the same way and got slapped down hard. There was a lot of built up animosity towards the parents, but nobody dared oppose them because of their power (BTW, they happened to be pretty decent people) and there seem to be quite a few people in Massachusetts that resent the Kennedys assuming the seat would be theirs to control. But yeah, the forehead was right. Ted would have won without much opposition.

I can do it in two words: Deval Patrick. The Mass governor is black. The same people the dork is calling racist are the ones who put the gov in office. And last I checked, Scott and Marcia are white ... wait one, is Joe Kennedy black? Wait until the RATs go all Palm Beach County and claim their base was confused, thinking they were voting for Teddy or something. Olberdork is one piece of work (and another substance too).
Any word on how the state’s 116,000 DEAD voters are leaning?
I’m guessing they’ll go heavily for Coakley.
Howie Carr quipped today that Ted Kennedy took out a reverse mortgage on his political capital. By the time he died, it was all gone.
BOR: 9% reporting Brown up by 5
Yeah..I NEVER thought this would be a landslide..I knew it would be a close race, kinda like New Jersey
Total.....179 of 2,168.......103,633......93,019....1,832
Michael Graham on 96.9 saying he called this one for Brown at 3pm EST and the numbers over the next hour will confirm this.
Yeah I’d say it’s pretty good. :)
It ain’t over until that d*mn union vote machine is destroyed.
“Meltdown with Keith Olbermann....”
Drudge - 53 - 46 Brown.
