Ogonowski to Challenge Kerry?

by: Matt Stoller

Sat Jan 12, 2008 at 18:41

There are rumors Jim Ogonowski, who narrowly lost to Niki Tsongas in MA-05 in 2007, is going to challenge John Kerry. Kerry doesn't have terrific approvals in Massachusetts, but I don't see how Ogonowski comes close. If he does it, John Kerry will have to spend more time in his home state. But that's about it. The Republicans have been murmuring about starting their own 50 state strategy, but recruiting on their side has just been dismal. Ogonowski really is the best they have, which does not speak well of their chances in 2008.

MA-05 (0.00 / 0)

If Ogonoski can't win an open seat against Tsongas in the most favorable Republican CD in the state, there isn't any chance he can beat Kerry statewide. None.

Folks unhappy with Kerry... (0.00 / 0)

...should check out Ed O'Reilly, who is challenging him in the primary.

Their Scott Kleeb (0.00 / 0)

The Democratic state with the largest 100% Dem House delegation is Massachusetts (10 D/0 R).

The Republican state with the largest 100% GOP House delegation is Nebraska (3R/0 D).

In each case, the idea seems to be to run someone who had a better than expected race for a House seat for the Senate.
