Massachusetts special election

Joseph Patrick Kennedy II, former representative from the 8th district.

I think this would be a good idea

Does anyone on this forum know anything about Joe Kennedy? There was a reason he dropped out of the 1998 race. Unimpressive Congressman, ugly divorce, conflict of interest and investigation. He is one of three Democrats who might run into serious problems in a general election and the most likely of them to make it.

And, most recently, a whore for the country of Venezuela.

I can't see anyone making hay on that issue. It's not going to win you anyone who isn't already reflexively voting against a Kennedy. You want Grandma to freeze to death?

I don't think it'll make its way into being a major issue either, but personally, I greatly resent him allowing himself to be used as a propaganda arm for Hugo Chavez.  That's all.

Patrick has a press conference at 3 PM today.

Essentially to set the date: January 19, 2010.

Also that he's "weighing" Kennedy's request for an interim senator.

Doesn't she know we're still (collectively) mourning?

I mean, lord, just today on my commute to work...
