Seems, I’m not the only one who thinks the unhappy Barney Frank might lose his seat this fall. Glenn Reynolds wonders if the the 15-term Congressman is getting worried, given that despite his sizable war chest, he’s “called in Bill Clinton for a Bubba Bailout in an apparent sign that one of the Bay State’s safest congressional seats may not be immune from voters’ throw-the-bums-out rage.”
You can help ease the departure of this big-spending Democrat by supporting his challenger Sean Bielat.
Is there any polling on this race? I didn’t find it after about four minutes with Google. Isn’t Frank’s seat “safe”? Though I suppose this would be the year, if there is any year. We can dream.
I don’t want to get my hopes up, but watching Mumbles go down in flames would make my year.
If Barney Frank is calling in Bill Clinton, he’s terrified; usually, he is just a somnambulist with his elections. This year is different. Republican Scott Brown won the late Ted Kennedy’s Senate seat, although the seat belongs to the people of Massachusetts–not Kennedy’s family & cronies. Governor Deval Patrick cannot gain momentum & he’s in trouble.
Why isn’t Barney Frank not calling in the Narcissist-in-Chief, President Obama? Bill Clinton will not help Barney Frank, but he’s less toxic than Obama.
#1 I know. I can’t find FL-20 either.
What’s the current success rate of the Bubba Bailouts? Last I saw, the candidates he stumped for all lost. I think he was 0-10 at one point.
I propose the Frank-Dodd supermax penitentiary for scam artists who have bilked over a billion dollars out of the public. The Congressional wing could have Jacuzzi privileges for inmates who rat out fellow schemers.
I dig that Barney Frank is a mixture of Fred Flintstone, Snagglepuss, and Touché Turtle. But that’s all I dig about him.
