I'm glad he's with Harkin at the first one. It would be nice if Harkin was on his side this time.

10. "Ha!" my ass.

We will hear nothing from you or anyone else living and/or working in MA on this subject.

And quit yer boo-hooin'.

That is all.

11. But GV, I haven't seen him for 4 1/2 weeks.

Ahm, he's not a Steelers fan?
He's saving an appearance for Pittsburgh for the fall cuz he heard it's lovely that time of the year?
The Casey V. Santorum race is so good, he's savoring it and doesn't want to peak too early?

He's on his way, the Senator is just running a little late......

[globalvillage]

12. Worth the wait, I'm sure.

Thanks.

13. .

:rofl:

9. Yeah, and he hasn't been putting in time for Teddy K either

How is Teddy supposed to win if good Dems won't rally around him. Where has John been in Uncle Ted's hour of need? Why no rallies in Worcester? No picnics in Springfield? No posing with fish in Gloucester? I asks ya, what's that all about?

Excuse me, what? Unopposed you say, will get north of 80% of the vote, eh?

AHm, nevermind. go about your business. I can loan you a Senator if you want, but you have to have him back soon in good working order. (We do miss him you know. People like him don't just grow on trees ya know.)
