2010 Midterm Elections (view source)
Revision as of 04:00, September 21, 2009
, 04:00, September 21, 2009no edit summary
Given that Massachusetts is arguably the most [[liberal]] state in the country (the federal delegation has been entirely Democratic since 1997) the real race will likely be the Democrat primary, held on December 8, 2009. Candidates include State Attorney General Martha Coakley and businessman Alan Khazei. Representative Jim McGovern and Mike Capuano are probable candidates. On the Republican side, State Senator Scott Brown has declared his candidacy. Many high-profile Republicans have declined to run, such as former White House Chief of Staff Andrew Card, former Governor Mitt Romney, and former Lieutenant Governor Kerry Healey. Former [[Boston]] [[Red Sox]] pitcher [[Curt Schilling]], who has [[conservative]]-leanings, may run as an [[independent]], since he is not registered in any political party.

Democrat [[Kirsten Gillibrand]] was appointed by Governor [[David Patterson]] to replace [[Hillary Clinton]] after much confusion on his part. Patterson mishandled the proposed appointment of [[Caroline Kennedy]], gaining ridicule for both of them. Gillibrand’s moderate views alienated the left wing of the Democratic Party. She has proven a remarkably successful fundraiser, and primary challengers have dropped away. Nine-term Congressman [[Peter King]] considered seeking the Republican nomination but later declined to run. Republicans are trying to recruit former Governor [[George Pataki]], who runs even in the polls with Gillibrand. Some Republican leaders have tried to urge former New York City Mayor [[Rudy Giuliani]] to run, although he appears much more likely to seek the governorship. <ref>http://www.nypost.com/p/news/local/gop_pushing_sen_giuliani_RqZSxXw0fxIeppuGc5NUTL</ref>
