In reply to the discussion: Barney Frank Would Welcome Interim Appointment To Fill Kerry’s Senate Seat [View all]DryRain
(237 posts)Back in 2010, A January election, no other races on the ballot. Most college folks stil on vacations, and Martha Coakley making a mess of her image at every turn. It was the year, 2010, when Dems simply beieved the Dem would win without voting, stayed home. Never again.
Brown just lost an election to a novice. Brown has no compass, and made major racist mistakes. Brown gives Republicans in the Senate no majority even if he won. Fewer outside banker investor dollars will flow his way.
Dems are the definite majority in Mass, Dems control all 3 branches of government. Dems will all support and get out the vote for whoever is the Dem candidate. Kerry, Kennedys' and Boston Mayor Menino will support the Dem candidate. No shoe-in, but the odds are: no Repubican should hold that Senate seat for another 2 years. Barney Frank, as interim Senator, wil endorse his Dem ally, whoever it is.
The mistakes of 2010 will NOT happen again. That said, no one can be sure of anything in politics.
