#1 After reading the headline, this article is a real buzzkill, man.

#3 Mullah Richard,
Chris Kennedy lives in the Chicago suburbs.

Wow. If Caroline Kennedy Schlossberg takes Hilary's seat, and Chris Kennedy takes Obama's seat, there will be three members of the Kennedy dynasty in the Senate, at least as long as Uncle Ted is around.

#4 Why do we even bother having elections?
The only hope is Sneed is a 'tool' and her accuracy rate is about 5%... and that is on daylight vs. dark

#5 this nonsense about the Kennedys is dismaying and explains a lot about how an empty suit gets elected POTUS

#6 Thanks Rambler, you are correct. He is a 'Liguistics' professor at the University of Chicago. This must be great training for politics, no?

I was confusing him with one of the other Kennedy horde.

#7 Got that one wrong, too. He is the president of the "Merchandise Mart" in Chicago.

#8 He is the president of the "Merchandise Mart" in Chicago.

I have to ask, is that an office of the city, county or state government?

#9 Not a government entity. The Merchandise Mart is the world's largest 'wholesale showroom'.
(Wikipedia Article Here).
