Sean Bielat, the Republican candidate for Congress in Massachusetts' 4th District, has had just one conversation with his Democratic opponent, Rep. Barney Frank.
It was in August, at a parade in New Bedford. "I went up to introduce myself and said, 'Nice to meet you,'" Bielat recalls. "He said, 'I wish I could say the same, but you've made this personal. You've been attacking me.' Then he turned and walked away."
Bielat remembers thinking that was a little odd, since at that very moment Frank's Web site featured plenty of attacks on Bielat. But the brief encounter set the tone for what has become an increasingly contentious campaign. The nervousness plaguing Democrats nationwide has touched even Frank, a 14-term incumbent who hasn't faced a serious challenger in years...

That would be AWESOME! I hope someone defeats him in the election as well...
If Bielat beats Barney, the earth will have moved.
Barney doesn’t want anybody sneaking up behind him except Jim Ready.
Frank ought to be worried. And Bielat does have a chance. This 4th District in Massachusetts went for Scott Brown fairly decisively.
TURNOUT IS EVERYTHING!
In the recent New York primaries turnout was up 400% in some precincts
And thought the polls only showed Paladino and Cuomo as tied, TEA party candidate Paladino KICKED HIS ASS in a landslide 62-37
DRAG YOUR FRINEDS AND NEIGHBORS TO THE POLLS!!!!!!!! (except democrats, tell them they can go back to sleep, the govt will let them vote tomorrow)
I’m going to sell my house, move to his district so I can vote against him!!!!!
Mr. Frank is a coward, and he’s scared to death.
He should be. Mr. Frank has lingered too long at the federal trough.
Fixed it.
Seems like he’s a Joe Miller-caliber candidate. Would be great to finally see Barney retired.
“I’m going to sell my house, move to his district so I can vote against him!!!!!”
Can’t afford to sell, nor do I want to move but I will proudly be voting Neal out of my Massachusetts House District!!! I can’t wait to celebrate both Frank and Neal’s forced retirements!
{I just wish we didn’t have to pay their pensions, especially since no one I know has a pension in their jobs except for my sisterinlaw the teacher (she hates the union! and is one of us)}
“Attacking” a Dem menas reporting his real record, and quoting him directly, in context.
Send him packing!
Here’s hoping that slobbering old queen gets shown the door.
From reading the article, Bielat sounds like one of the good guys. He also correctly identifies that national support is key, and that if GOP donors across the country think there’s a chance to get rid of Barney, they’ll donate to Bielat. According to the article, Bielat is just 10 points behind Frank, even though Bielat has only raised $600,000...MUCH much less than Frank.
I’d love to hear Rush talk about this the same way he did about O’Donnell, which resulted in millions pouring into her campaign coffers from across the nation.
In the meantime, we can donate to Sean Bielat through his website at http://www.seanbielat.org/
It would be like an early Christmas!!
Please forgive me, but if Barney Frank can be defeated, then so can Mike Doyle (PA-14). Doyle is the Democrap stooge who persuaded the Stupak group to sell out and support Obama’s abortion care.
Melissa Haluszczak is a courageous Conservative who is running against Doyle.
With a little money, she can defeat Doyle.
