Kerry May Get Primary Challenger

[Gabu]

Hope this challenger kicks Kerry off. Kerry's really unpopular and the last thing I want (next to the GOP winning the White House in 2008) is a Massachusetts senatorial seat falling to the GOP.

He's not at all unpopular around Democrats.  It's Republicans and to a much lesser extent Independents who are dragging him down - just the sort who aren't likely (or perhaps even able - I don't know their primary rules) to vote in the primary.  And once the primary's over, the Republicans don't have a single credible candidate in the entire state, so I don't particularly anticipate a very difficult battle for Kerry.

I chose 50-60%.  I read somewhere, and I can't remember now, that only 34%, or something around there, want Sen. Kerry to seek re-election while 66%, or close to, don't want him to.  If anyone has a link to that, or further information, please post a link.

Of whom most were Republicans and Independents.  Democrats wanted him to run for re-election by like 60+%.

IF (an amazingly large IF) John Kerry loses the primary AND Mitt Romney is either the presidential or VP nominee AND IF the Republicans find a decent challenger, they COULD win this seat.

Who would the GOP run?

They don't hold a single notable office in all of Massachusetts now that Romney is gone.
