Barney Frank is in the running to be named interim Senator to take his place! Wouldn't that just fry the Repugs Butts!!! I've decided that the End Of The World Mayan calendar thing is actually just the end of the reign of the haters and the liars. It's a new dawn for progressives!

(22,000 posts)Assuming he hasn't already made his vacation plans (after so many years in the House who would blame him if he had).
It would also give whomever is running for the special election time to focus on the campaign. Hopefully that person runs a competent campaign this time around.

(11,175 posts)Leading contenders, like Congressmembers Capuano and Markey, have lower name recognition than Scott Brown, because they've been representing only one district. Let one of them serve a few months as Senator, until the special election, to strengthen him against Brown.
This is nothing against Barney Frank, whom I've admired since he was in the Massachusetts legislature.
