There has been a lot of focus on the Massachusetts Senate race to replace the late Ted Kennedy and some are trying to paint it as a repudiation of President Obama and health care reform. One of the key findings in the new PPP poll released last night was that those planning on voting oppose […]
(source) Now imagine if that was a woman, or even a Democrat.
Paul Kirk, the interim replacement for the late Ted Kennedy, has sworn to “absolutely” vote for health care reform.
