Another Brown is better than John F*ckin’ Kerry! At least he wouldn’t stab soldiers in the back for the media glory!

I wonder if Kerry’s manservant will be moving to Foggy Bottom with him?

While it's possible that Kerry could lose and a pRogressive Republican libeRal might get the seat, there's almost no chance that a conservative.

Scott Brown’s ‘tea party’ fans feel burned by jobs vote
The new Massachusetts senator crosses the aisle to block a Republican filibuster on a $15-billion jobs bill. His supporters, who used the Internet to rally behind him, now turn on him.

February 23, 2010|By James Oliphant

Reporting from Washington — For Scott Brown, it appears that the “tea party” is over.

Literally overnight, the fledgling Republican senator who ended Democrats’ filibuster-proof majority by winning a special election in Massachusetts has gone from being the darling of America’s conservative activists to being their goat.

Monday night, Brown announced that he would join four other Republicans in voting to block a GOP filibuster and move forward with a $15-billion jobs bill designed by Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid (D-Nev.).

Almost immediately, the political blogosphere exploded.

Cries of “letdown,” “betrayal,” “sellout,” and “RINO” — “Republican in name only” — flew around Twitter. By late Tuesday afternoon, more than 4,200 people had left comments on Brown’s Facebook page, most harshly negative. (And liberals engaged in some cyber-schadenfreude at the same time.)

Just five days earlier, Brown had been cheered loudly by conservative activists at a gathering in Washington. He was so warmly received that some in the crowd began suggesting he could be another Ronald Reagan and help usher in a new era of conservatism.

Tea party and other conservative activists felt particularly let down by Brown’s Monday vote because many of them had poured money and manpower into his underdog bid to capture the Senate seat long occupied by liberal icon Edward M. Kennedy.

Maybe to the GOP, but not to conservatives, and liberals are aggravating and harmful, no matter what they call themselves.

If Hillary is going to run angainst Zero, she needs to jump ship soon. She needs to move before this Egypt fiasco can be pinned on her. She can use it to paint a contrast between her and Zero, and show his ineptitude on the world stage. If she waits too long, she'll be viewed as riding on his coattails, and then as ungrateful and opportunistic to run against him for president.

IF Hillary is going to run, NOW is the perfect time to jump. Jump ship over diplomatic differences. Expose the boy king for his ineptitude, and plunge the knife deep and twist.

IF Hillary wants to be POTUS, its ALL OR NOTHING and its NOW. She must expose the snake and cut off its head, in order to be seen as a potential leader and replacement.

Campaign season will be starting in the next 6 months, and she needs to set her campaign up AND seperate herself from HER BOSS.

Kerry as Secretary of State? Is Obama that dumb?

Probably Kerry’s purpose would be to make Clinton look good.

It would be nice, but it's not likely.

Martha Coakley was an exceptionally bad candidate -- and a pretty lousy person.

There are plenty of Massachusetts Democrats as unimpressive and uninspiring as she is, but usually a stronger candidate prevails.

Democrats have a massive advantage in registration, and there are usually so very few Republicans in elective office in Massachusetts.

Republicans doubled their seats in the State Legislature in the last election, but Democrats still have a 128-32 majority there, and a 36-4 majority in the State Senate.

Could someone outside politics, like Curt Schilling, pull off a victory for the Republicans? Keep your fingers crossed on that.

The state's Democratic bosses and powerbrokers will stop at nothing to prevent the loss of another US Senate seat.

This would be perfect. Kerry (He served in Viet Nam, you know!) moves to Secretary of State and is unemployed on 1/20/13 as a Republican President is inaugurated!
