White House Lobbies for Interim Kennedy Seat Appointment

[clayfoushee]

I neither have any clue of why you plucked that one sentence out of a longer post, nor of what you're talking about. Moreover, I'm not interested in a discussion of how "fast" or "slow" laws are enacted, or of entering a debate on an entirely different subject. I'm only interested in seeing that both sides are accurately presented in political discussions, in general, and that is usually not the case in this forum.

Talk to Jamo. He's the one who has a problem with "enactment speed," except, of course, in cases of national emergency.

Naw, don't talk to me...I'm only interested in underscoring the fact that Massachusettes sucks, regardless of the pace of the sucking.

MA voter registration as of 10-30-2008:

Democrat: 37%

Republican: 12 %

Non Affiliated: 50 %

Other: 1 %

Had thought the Democrat registration would have been higher.

" The state Senate approved a bill yesterday that would let Governor Deval Patrick appoint an interim successor to Edward M. Kennedy, paving the way for the appointment of a new US senator as early as tomorrow and providing Democrats in Washington the potential 60th vote they have been seeking to pass a health care overhaul.
