GOP state rep exploring Massachusetts special Senate election

Republican state Rep. Dan Winslow announced Tuesday that he is making the first official moves to run in the special election for the Bay State’s open seat.

“Today I’m taking the necessary steps to form an exploratory committee to test the waters for the U.S. Senate,” Winslow said in a statement. “We need to fix a broken Washington where progress is being hampered by partisan gridlock. If we continue to elect the same Washington politicians, we can not expect different results.”

Winslow told The Boston Globe he was “99 percent there” on a run.

*Sigh*

How about running against budget-busting liberalism? It’s a special election – most of the Obama drones will be out spending their EBT’s or home watching American Idol.

I wonder what his grand plan is to fix broken Washington. The longer we run on this platform of ‘Washington is broken, I’m going to fix it [without providing any specifics or willing to put my name behind any truly serious reforms],’ the faster we become irrelevant.

Well geez….At least somebody decided to go for it.
Hey GOP…You guys on break or something…?

As a Massachusetts resident it is heartening that someone is at least making an effort.

Very discouraging to be in a state where your vote is meaningless 99% of the time. Would be great to have someone in the Senate to cancel out Liz Warren’s rubber-stamp of Harry Reid’s votes.
