It would be an abomination for a rethug to sit in Teddy Kennedy's seat

[Hugabear]

It would be the ultimate insult, a final slap in the face to the legacy of a great man, to allow a rethug to sit in Teddy's Senate seat. I'm not familiar with the current political climate of Massachusetts, but how is a rethug even able to be competitive in such a race? I cannot think of many rethugs who don't have some sort of scandals, whether they be ethical, moral, etc.

What are the recount rules like in Massachusetts? I would hope that if, somehow this rethug winds up winning, that the Democratic Party would challenge the results.

3. It's an abomination to have a true Blue population upset enough to give a fool like Brown a chance

You don't just get to scare people into voting republican. That only works on a certain part of the population. If they see nothing to vote for in Coakley and no reason to support a 60 vote corporate owned Senate then it's a waste of time

4. The political attitudes of folks from MASS are really complex IMHO

The further we move away from JFK and his legacy, I predict we'll see MA become a redder blue-purple.

7. Some towns here are totally red.

Topsfield and Boxford are two in my vicinity that vote republican every election. Wealthy towns, I might add.

11. Yes. I lived in the Malden/Medford area and I was very surprised at the conventional conservative...

...attitudes from most people I met there. It really opened my eyes that MASS was not the bastion of liberalism that I had believed.

6. It is an abomination for Democrats to mandate corporate insurance with no public option.

8. Think we'll ever see that in our lifetimes?

12. Expand Medicare using reconciliation

Then we can trust we will be treated as the law dictates and not have some uncaring ahole who will get a bonus for declining my payment making life and death decisions on my life.

9. And voting for a republican will help with this?

10. I think it's an abomination

for any political party or individual politician to believe they are entitled to an elected position.
