Kennedy Way Ahead for Congress
A new UMass Lowell/Herald poll shows Joseph Kennedy III (D) trounces Sean Bielat (R) in a general election trial heat by a 60% to 28% margin in a race for the seat being vacated by Rep. Barney Frank (D-MA).

"While the 31-year-old Kennedy has a commanding lead now, the race is far from over. The former Middlesex prosecutor has never run for office and has yet to make a single campaign appearance. He's expected to formally announce soon."

2. thought Barneys seat

was lost from redistricting... or is this an over simplification?

3. next move...

Let's get him a few years in the House, then a few years in the Senate and we have a good presidential candidate in 2024 (If Obama gets re-elected and a Dem wins after him) or in 2020 (God forbid after Obama a Republican gets in).

8. Just watched an ad he made for his campaign

I'd heard of him, just because of the family, didn't know much about him, personally.

The ad hits a number of great points, focusing on a government that is fair for all Americans.

He looks like a potential strong Dem for the future.
