A top state Democrat had said earlier in the weekend that Kennedy was weighing a race if Rep. William Delahunt were to decide against seeking re-election.

15. English 101

18. chritian liberal booze-runners {sic} WTF?
Why would you, on this board, refer to the Kennedy family in such a nasty way?

That's pretty much a rhetorical question.

:crazy:

16. I think losing Delahunt will be a big loss for us? My impression only...
Whenever I've seen him I've liked what he was saying --

Don't know how MASS feels about him?

Most of all we need humanists in government -- not wealthy elites!
