Joseph P. Kennedy III seeks to forge own destiny

The 113th Congress convenes on Thursday, and the most prominent change for the Massachusetts delegation is that Democrat Elizabeth Warren will replace Republican Scott Brown in the US Senate.

But the other change is no small one, either, as Joseph P. Kennedy III assumes the Fourth Congressional District seat being vacated by Representative Barney Frank.

Comments

Just a small correction: Kennedy is into his fourth decade, not third.

Joe....what is a "real shot"...what does that mean....and name me one person in this country who does not get a "real shot"....whatever that is. More doublespeak.

... it means, having a huge financial advantage over your opponent, and not needing to form or express political opinions, knowing the lemmings will line up to vote for you because of your name.

Have you looked at the picture which accompanies this article, a halo is around Joe - just a reminder of how the globe always treats the Kennedy family.

Why do use Einstein for a photo,  when many of your comments can be so offensive and derogatory. Albert would roll in his grave.

do you really think if his name was Joseph Smith III he would have been elected and then of course the hollywood crowd donated to his campaign millions....yeah right he really understands the working people, especially when you have millions in trust funds to fall back on.

I always said if the devil was on the democrat ticket and Jesus was on the republican ticket the dummies would still vote democrat.
