A Federal Government Without a Kennedy?: It May Happen Come January

The GOP's John J. Loughlin II has moved within two points of Patrick Kennedy in the Rhode Island House race. In liberal New England, there is a chance Loughlin may win and send the last Kennedy left in the federal government home.

"What we are finding in Rhode Island is exactly what we found in Massachusetts during Scott Brown's election, and that is extreme voter unrest about the liberal, big-government, agenda that is bankrupting our nation," said Eric Fehrnstrom, the architect of Mr. Brown's win and now a strategist with the Loughlin campaign.

"People are just now beginning to wake up to the fact that our country is on the brink of financial ruin and Rhode Island is not immune to the voter backlash that we are witnessing in other parts of the country."

Wouldn't that be something! No more Kennedys.
