In 1994, Ted Kennedy crushed Mitt Romney, and while I credit his victory to the fact that he is Massachussetts, others credit these advertisements run by Ted. Either way, they’re powerful ads, ripping Romney for his work as a buyout-specialist-putting-people-out-of-work.

Now we know how he’ll be attacked: at the Republican grassroots, for being a Mormon “Conservative” who wanted to run in Boston, and in the Democratic Party? As a heartless businessman and opponent of the middle class.

In other news, Fred Thompson is leaving Law and Order to run for President.

A friend of mine recently dropped out of school to become an ultimate fighter. I’ll say to Thompson what I said to Tom: Right. Not that I don’t believe in pursuing your dreams, but you should never do anything with reckless abandon, especially not when your audience is going to miss you and you’re about to face a new one that probably won’t receive you as well.
