Do they want her to challenge Brown orchannel her deceased husband? What part of “it isn’t Ted Kenedy’s seat” did they not get?

the voters are showing signs of awakening from a half century of stupor to see how venal and destructive the tax & spend policies of the dimocraps have proven. After Scott thrashed coakley, the small fry don’t want to be ground up for chum and the party manipulators know the only arrow left in their quiver, no matter how worn it may be, is the “mystique” of the kennedy name. None of the CongressCritters wants to risk the plunge, deval patrick’s numbers are in the tank. The dark blue night is seeing a few ray’s of red sunshine on the horizon and the creatures of the night are slithering for cover before it grows stronger and burns them out.

Dem operatives are furiously telling voters, “Pay no attention to those empty-suit Dems behind the curtain.” But as America1st said, the voters are paying attention, and Scott Brown is the telltale sign.

After all it is only proper that the lady fill her lordship’s seat. Oh wait, this is the US where titles of nobility are outlawed, and seats in the upper house of the national legislature aren’t hereditary. Yeah, I guess a politician willing to drive around the state in a truck and talk to the people he represents is kinda hard to defeat if he represents his constituents well.

She ought to keep doing the right thing and stay out of politics.

…And get him to run against Brown as a D.

But there’s nothing to suggest MA Dems are smart. Hopelessly corrupt? Yes. Smart? Heck no!

Especially since Cahill might get Cadillac Deval re-elected this year.
But your overriding point is correct–they are not smart.

The collective wisdom (?) or herd mentality of the Massachusetts electorate makes this a very interesting thread. Scott Browns election may have been a wake up call to the national democratic party, but as a citizen of the Commonwealth, I’m not sure voters here have answered the phone yet. Was Brown elected on his merits or as a rejection of Martha Coakley as an individual and not as a democrat. Only after the 2012 election is over will we really know.

. . .are the first to throw themselves backwards 234 years to an aristocratic mindset?

I don’t think it will fly for Vicky Kennedy in MA. Caroline Kennedy was basically incoherent as she toured the state of New York in 2009, trying to explain that, well, it would just be neat to be a United States Senator. This was after all of the elites like David Gergen explained to us poor schlubs on Main Street that the seat would be “hers for the asking” if she ran. Ask again.

Fortunately, the days are over when the Kennedys can claim various public offices by some kind of royal entitlement, and I think that will apply even in Massachusetts. The one memorable line from Scott Brown’s victory was that the Senate seat there is the people’s seat, not the Kennedys’ seat. If they need to be told that again, well, have at it.

Senator Brown has been almost a loyal democrat vote. Didn’t he vote for the latest stimulus and the so call Fin Reg bill ? Another raging Kennedy in the senate. She has not killed anyone so she is not eligible.

I really don’t think Ted Kennedy thought he would die. He had enough hubris to live 100 more years. This may have rubbed off on many around him, both political friends and enemies.
