I'm hoping Frist, but who knows, that's a long time from now.
Yes, because we totally should all elect a candidate who will piss the other side off.

He's been in MO, SC & UT degrading Mass's same-sex couples, so he's clearly walking the Republican plank on that issue.
Can he raise the money? Can he inspire primary voters? I doubt it.

i doubt he can in Mass, which may be why he's been travelling to other states. a lot of people have been very unhappy with him the past year or so. I have been wondering if he'd even be able to win a re-election of governer.

Actually that is an issue that cuts across political parties. Please stop writing lies.

Sorry to burst your neocon bubble, Rudith, but the Democratic Party does not have a plank in their platform against same-sex marriage or supporting a federal amendment defining marriage. That's the Republicans.

Again, each candidate from each party supports different things.

Please stop spreading these lies.

Oh and by the way, neocon has nothing to do with anything so I hate to burst your homosexual-terrorist-kill-American bubbles.

Actually, the former DEMOCTRAT speaker of the Massachusetts House, Thomas Finneran, was an outspoken opponent of gay marriage. Robert Traveligini (Senate President - Democrat) and Thomas Reilly (Attorney General - Democrat and likely Democrat candidate for Governor) also came out against gay marriage in the past.

The resistence has been on both sides of the aisle, Democrat and Republican.

Did Kerry embrace same-sex marriages? NO!

But the point he is trying ot make is that it is IN THE REPUBLICAN PARTY PLATFORM.

It is not in the Democratic Party platform, some Democrats disapprove of it, but don't believe that it should be a national issue.
