ted kennedy retires.
who wins in a contest between joe kennedy and mitt romney?
i think it would be a close race. remember, kennedy has a lot of skeletons in his closet and he isnt exactly a studious sort of person...to say the least.
Romney. As long as he doesn't repeat his previous mistake in challenging a Kennedy. If I remember the quote from the debate correctly, Romney said Teddy Kennedy and the Kennedy family have no concept of what it means to suffer loss for their country.
Romney was ahead in the polls at that point. Teddy answered in a dignified, slightly angry way -- and said that losing three brothers in service to America gave him a faint notion of loss and sacrifice. Romney was dumbfounded.
Still, don't look for Joe to run. Probably, you'll see a member of the Mass House delegation run. There are some good ones there.
