35. Wanna trade Senators?

Nov 2012

As much everyone is bashing Kerry over this MA should trade Senators.

You can have two GOP senators in Alexander and Corker, a filthy rich GOP governor (he is really like Romney), a GOP controlled state house/senate, Teabaggers who get elected to Congress (one lied about his mistress' abortion, the others are Anti-Obama bat junk crazy), a heavy red Southern state (TN) where ignorant pols (some DINOs) don't care until every election cycle.

Give us Kerry and Warren, but keep Brown far away up there.

At least you are from a blue state. Must be nice to have a Dem delegation that works hard, but never appreciates its own Senior Senator.

As for the SOS job, the Senator is very qualified, but understand he is also needed in the Senate.

Interesting how no one had a problem with Kerry going back to the Senate doing good work (SFRC Chair, etc). after Obama tapped Hillary, but no matter what he does, he is accused of having an "ego" when he has been nothing but loyal to Obama/Biden and the Democratic party. Funny how Democrats let the media off the hook, when Kerry hasn't said a thing. Go figure.
