Everything should be made as simple as possible, but no simpler. |

GOSI mama, we clinton supporters will take revenge on the back stabbers like kerry.. its repay time..
Gloucester attorney Ed O’Reilly got enough support from party officials today to ensure that he will give US Senator John F. Kerry his first Democratic primary challenge in 24 years.
At the state Democratic Party convention at the Paul E. Tsongas Arena, O’Reilly got 22.5 percent of the 2,574 ballots cast, more than the 15 percent he needed to secure a spot on the primary ballot. Kerry got the majority of votes, which means he’ll get the party’s endorsement.
“Party officials said this campaign is a nuisance. And it is. It’s a total nuisance,” O’Reilly said to the convention floor. “Democracy is a nuisance. People said the American Revolution was a nuisance — and it was!”
Kerry, in his fourth six-year term, last had a serious challenge in 1996, from Governor William F. Weld, a Republican. He hasn’t had a primary opponent since 1984, when Kerry and three other Democrats ran for a seat vacated by Paul Tsongas.
Few predict the sitting senator will be vulnerable in a primary race. But it could mean more campaigning this summer – and marks an embarrassment that a former presidential candidate was unable to thwart the challenge from O’Reilly.
The former city councilor and commercial lobsterman had met all the other requirements to secure a spot on the primary ballot, including meeting with party officials, attending scores of local meetings to introduce himself, and gathering 10,000 signatures.
But his highest hurdle was garnering 15 percent of the vote from party leaders today — a requirement Kerry worked to try to prevent.
Kerry took the stage to the sounds of Bruce Springsteen. He was joined by his wife, Teresa Heinz, and his daughter Vanessa.
“I’m here with humility to ask for your support,” Kerry said. “We have literally so much unfinished business … My friends, I have more energy, I feel more focused, I’m more ready for the fight than ever before.
“I ask for your trust and confidence to go back to the senate and help make our country right again.”
In the general election, the winner between Kerry and O’Reilly would face Republican Jeff Beatty, a 55-year-old Army veteran from Harwich.
Republican Jim Ogonowski, who was his party’s favored candidate, failed on Tuesday to qualify for the GOP primary ballot, delivering 30 signatures shy of the 10,000 he needed.
Ogonowski, a 50-year-old Dracut farmer who lost a Congressional bid to Niki Tsongas last year, issued a statement Friday saying he would leave the race. |
