Reply #45: Congressman Jim Mcgovern [View All]

I just got back from a Kerry fundraiser where I met Cam Kerry (John's brother) and Jim McGovern ...

The list of choices in the poll should have included him ... he's probably the most progressive member of the Mass delegation (well, maybe equal to Barney Frank) ...

McGovern is great ... i told him I have always believed that there is no alternative to civil war in Iraq ... Saddam's tyranny has done nothing but delay the inevitable ... McGovern was in total agreement ...

I told McGovern he should run to replace Kerry ... he indicated he was probably too liberal even for Massachusetts ... I told him that's just what Massachusetts needed ...

anyway, I voted "other" ... I'd be very surprised if Barney ran for Senate although I think it's still a possibility ... Delahunt isn't bad either ... his weekly "Iraq Watch" on Tuesday nights on C-Span has been some of the most engaging political discussion I've ever seen ... if you haven't seen it, you should ...

the rest of the choices you proposed were pretty thin ... so, I'd support Barney Frank or Delahunt, but Jim McGovern would be great ... I think the guy's a DU'er at heart ...
