Mass. Repukes can't even get enough signatures to put 2nd idiot on ballot to run against John Kerry

Republican Jim Ogonowski, who has the backing of key party members in his bid to challenge US Senator John F. Kerry, could be in danger of stumbling on his first crucial test: collecting 10,000 voter signatures to secure a spot on the GOP primary ballot.

With all the signatures submitted by the campaigns and the exhaustive certification process winding down, Ogonowski still needs at least 259 certified signatures to qualify for the September primary. But even that estimate is low, because he is expected to need a cushion of up to 1,000 more to withstand challenges to the validity of individual signatures that are sure to be mounted by his rival in the GOP primary, Jeff Beatty.

Candidates had until May 6 to submit signatures to municipal clerks. Local officials then have until May 27 to certify each signature as valid and submit a total from their communities to Galvin's office.

Romney is one of a number of leading Republicans backing Ogonowski who include former governor Paul Cellucci, former lieutenant governor and former GOP state chairwoman Kerry Healey, and US Senator Norm Coleman of Minnesota. The chairman of the National Republican Senatorial Committee, US Senator John Ensign of Nevada, has donated to Ogonowski's campaign.

I think it's even funnier because coleman is backing him.

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Peter Welch, in yesterday's local paper. The 'pukes haven't located anyone to oppose him, either. Pretty good for a first termer to be in that position. I think they have until mid-July to find someone, but it's not looking good for the GOP.

:rofl:

Thanks.

This idiot has an ego the size of South America.

His campaign against Rep. Bill Delahunt two years ago was so pathetic is was almost amusing to watch.

establishment, very amusing to see that he has trouble getting enough signatures.

Me and my father just laughed.

It's gotta be tough being a Repub in Mass. :D

His problem is probably that he doesn't have ground troops.

He couldn't beat Niki Tsongas for Meehan's house seat either, despite running a well funded bullshit campaign as a supposedly 'independent' Republican while trading off of his brother's 9-11 death. It could have been two unknowns each in the race due to somebody else close the them having croaked, but Tsongas adroitly kept pushing Ogonowski to put himself on the record on various issues (e.g. SCHIP) and he couldn't do it.
