Yeah but he won't suck one. Massholers demand they be given blow jobs for their vote.

[Eupher]

I notice that packin' fudge ain't on that list, so I dunno. He may not qualify. 

[true_blood]

You mean he's straight, served in the military, has business savy, and goes to a Catholic Church?!? How dare he run for Congress?! (DU sarcasm)
  to all the liberals and DUmmies. Let's not forget those progressives too!

[Wretched Excess]

he is 10 points down, but the donations are coming in.  I will never understand how the voters of MA could return the individual that is most responsible for fannie & freddie, and thus ultimately the financial crisis, to congress.

at least chris dodd had the decency to retire.

Exactly. I see that bill being very harmful to capitalism in general. Who knows what else they stuffed in there?

I will be voting for Bielat - thats certain. However, As I had mentioned in other threads, the Gerrymandering that was done to Frank's district is what keep him in place.

Which is why I am praying for a Republican governor, and as many Republican legislatures as possible.

You see, Massachusetts is losing a district, which means redistricting will happen soon. Hopefully Frank is forced to have a normal shaped district like everybody else, making him more susceptible to getting voted out in the future.

So his district is drawn to take in all the gay bars, huh?

As well as all of the college liberals, wealthy liberals, and immigrants.
