1. Nothing.
All the Republicans combined don't crack 35%.

2. What the fuck is your point? :-)
I mean, they're going to have an election, and elections mean opinion polls, and this is a (shallow) opinion poll. Am I missing something?

5. I think a 21% response for a baseball pitcher merits a wtf.

6. Presumably you're talking about the strong response Curt Republican Shill is getting?
Don't expect that to translate into actual votes!

8. Nothing.
Anyone can run for the office....lets not insult the good people of Mass who don't get to decide who runs for office.

12. Nothing. As of my vote for Joe, a total of 125 votes.
And from that you have the OH NOES? Curt (the idiot) Schilling has name recognition. Probably half of his 20 votes were from people who think he is a democrat.

Joe Kennedy II
31.2%
Martha Coakley
18.4%
Curt Schilling
16.0%
Victoria Kennedy
6.4%
Someone else
6.4%
Scott Brown
5.6%
Stephen Lynch
5.6%
Michael Capuano
4.8%
Michael Sullivan
2.4%
Kerry Healey
2.4%
Marty Meehan
0.8%
Total votes: 125

22. I ask myself the same question daily about Conneticut...I mean why is I-95 so shitty to drive on?
At least in Mass you have a football team AND a baseball team...we actually have to decide if we want to support the NY teams or the Mass teams. I was raised a Yankee/Giants person but my husband is Red Sox/Patriots..see how much trouble it causes?!

30. All they have to do to Shilling is drag out photos of him...
With his nose buried in George W. Bush's ass.

33. A lot of stupid people in Massachusetts
And in recent years, the area has completely wrapped its identity in its sports teams. Guess because there isn't much else to be cheerful about.

35. If you live here, you must know we have our own brand of redneck idiots
Fortunately they are in the minority. They just spend way too much of their time freeping online polls.
