The Joe Kennedy name was only worth 1% in the most recent US Senate election in MA.

He should've run in the Democratic primary.

(They'd have gotten the word out but I bet he'd still get 10% or so).

Well if he sticks around for long enough, he'll probably be up for Patrick's or Kerry's spots when they become vacant.

Really? Do you really want to pretend people know anything about him other than the fact that he's a Kennedy?

I don't think the 4th Congressional District is winnable for the Republicans in MA. I think MA-10, and MA-5 could be winnable with the right candidate.  MA-6 they have a good candidate in Tsei. The rest of the MA districts are not winnable for the R's.

There is no more MA-10, and MA-05 is now Markey's district - very Democratic and very liberal. More so then almost any other Massachusetts House district..

Oh yeah I was thinking of the 2002-2011 Massachusetts Congressional Districts not 2012+. Sorry. MA-3 is now Niki Tsongas's Dristrict not MA-5 anymore. Markey's district is probably the 2nd most liberal next to Capuano's Boston based district in my opinion. MA-1 is pretty liberal too.

So what if he's a Kennedy? That shouldn't count against him.
