‘Scrambling to halt the Scott Brown tsunami in the Bay State’
Here’s a counterintuitive thought: Delahunt slowed the Brown tusnami merely by not running. There’s an anti-incumbent mood out there. Voters are out for blood. Delahunt looked like the most vulnerable incumbent. Now he’s gone. Some of the throw-the-rascals-out momentum went with him. Sure the door is now ajar for Republicans in the 10th. But I’m not too impressed with their bench. Joe Malone? Please. … The best thing going for Republicans/anti-establishment types: passion. See post below. … P.S. – Does anyone have a rundown of likely contested legislative seats this fall? That’s where a political revolt will have the most impact here. Not at the Congressional level. But at the legislative level.
