In reply to the discussion: To the John Kerry fans- Scott Brown wallops all male candidates for Special Senate Election by 17pts [View all]graham4anything
(11,464 posts)that is the point-
a new senator(unless its Vicky or Teddy Jr. Kennedy) will not have the in to be as big as Kerry seniority wise and power wise.
Elizabeth Warren is a one issue focused candidate-so let's say all America wants her to do what she can do with regard to the Fed, the banks, Wall Street, etc.
that leaves no time for all the other important issues.
And no other senator elected will have any pull whatsoever.
(let alone if Brown gets it.)
It is too dangerous.
And again, I supported and backed Kerry for years and years, and fought off the naysayers on everything Kerry.
But I am not on this continuing that (not as someone else said that what any of us say matters, unless of course it does as you guys all seem to think otherwise you all wouldn't be campaigning so hard for a non--political job that never in my recollection had fans pushing for a candidate to be before.
We shall see, I hope for ALL our sakes, this works out to the best.
I do not trust Mass. Voters whatsoever though, and lots of them are not democrats.
Boston isn't the whole state and Brown's popularity is soaring.
So unless he is unknown to us, going to become a democrat afterward, I worry greatly this will be very bad.(let alone that he could become governor even if he lost this senate race, as he is not disappearing from politics, he has made that plain to all to see).
