Do you mean to tell me that

in a purely hypothetical match up, former Congressman Joseph P. Kennedy only trails Scott Brown by five percentage points?
Moreover alone of all the potential challengers to Brown, Kennedy denies him a majority?
AND Joe Kennedy is currently considered to be the most popular democrat in the State??
Gawd-damnit, If no one else speaks up I'll do it!
RUN JOE RUN!!!

A five point spread, sheeeee-it, Scott Brown started up much further behind Martha Coakley in 2009!
Hell, a mere 5%!!!
Joe Kennedy delivers home heating oil to double that margin every week in the wintertime!
Kennedy's current popularity must come of all those commercials where he gets the old times cozily warmed up with oil he shook down from the usual dingbats & petrocrats.
Granted the local pundits all hate Kennedy, but these days that is a badge of honor.


Or at least it is with me.
You know he can raise the money...
You know he won't languish in obscurity...
You know He Hates Losing....
He is tanned, rested and ready.

But will he do it?
Likely he will not, these days it sounds like Kennedy is deep in Tsongas-land, that scenic mountain terrain that looms far beyond the realm of politics.
I think someone threw this poll together to try and shake up the race...I mean the rest of the field save Governor Patrick is losing the match ups by margins of two to one.
Of course study those numbers carefully my friends, Brown's best majority is 52% a good solid win but hardly a landslide of epic proportions.
The man can be beaten, if the message is right and the messenger has the means the power to persuade.
