JPK III...
Former US Congressman Joseph P. Kennedy's namesake son wants to run for Congress in Barney Frank's fourth district.
I like the kid's spunk, but he faces long odds. The state legislature has redrawn that district into something that just possibly a republican can win.
Assuming of course they aren't a tea party weirdo.
Of course it's in the interests of the democrats and especially the upcoming senatorial contest to run a well financed competitive campaign in the fourth since that would compel Scott Brown to contest ground he won easily in 2010.
And what the hell, Joseph P. Kennedy is young, reasonably well spoken, untainted by the family's tendency to garish scandal and he can fundraise.
This is just about all his father brought to the table when the Spartans went marching in the streets for him back in 1986.
If I have any advice for JPK III he ought to take a page from his father's book, stay populist, take nothing for granted and run like an underdog that has caught on fire.
Good luck kid...
