EAST PROVIDENCE, R.I. | Two years ago, it would have been unthinkable that both seats held by Kennedy family members could be won by Republicans.
But Scott Brown's January election to Sen. Edward M. Kennedy's former Massachusetts seat paved the way, and now the GOP is hoping Rhode Island state Rep. John J. Loughlin II will give an encore performance in the race for the U.S. House seat held by Patrick J. Kennedy, the late senator's son, in Tuesday's election.
"What we are finding in Rhode Island is exactly what we found in Massachusetts during Scott Brown's election, and that is extreme voter unrest about the liberal, big-government, agenda that is bankrupting our nation," said Eric Fehrnstrom, the architect of Mr. Brown's win and now a strategist with the Loughlin campaign.
"People are just now beginning to wake up to the fact that our country is on the brink of financial ruin and Rhode Island is not immune to the voter backlash that we are witnessing in other parts of the country."
An NBC10-Quest Research poll released Thursday found Mr. Loughlin trailing Democratic nominee David M. Cicilline by just 2 percentage points.
People today are not only angry, but scared for not only their future, but for the future of their kids and grandkids. Any rep that receives the nod from the electorate to represent them in the white house, better follow through on their promises or they too will get the boot in the next election cycle!
Remember, government involvement does not end on election day!!! It is AFTER election day that everyone needs to really pay attention!! IMHO

Rhode Island is also upset because the Obama White House did NOTHING when the state had the worst flooding in state history not too long ago.
The folks surrounding the president knew just enough to get him elected -- but they have been running the White House operation horribly. I am glad that Emanuel is gone --- they need to sack the press secretary and Axelrod, too.
