3. Um, I have nothing against democracy. |
|
If the majority of his constituents love him and vote for him... that's cool and dandy.
I was just wondering WHY.
Possible answers: 1) no one ever runs against him 2) his constituents love him because... (insert reasons here) etc.etc.
But fuck me for being curious, I guess.

4. He's got clout. He's got power. |
|
And that can be an advantage to those he represents. Maybe his office is good with constituent services, I don't know. There also could be a lot of serious Catholics in his district. Isn't Southie part of his district?
