US Representative Patrick J. Kennedy , the son of US Senator Edward M. Kennedy, and a nephew of JFK -- a figure to whom Obama has been likened -- last night told me he was gratified that his father and his cousin Caroline were among the president-elect's...
In keeping with our recent look at some of the problems of the national GOP , former ProJo scribe Mark Arsenault -- who has been doing some freelancing for The Boston Globe since taking the buyout -- reports today on the disappearance of Republican moderates...
Jack Reed and Patrick Kennedy will be among the candidates receiving endorsements in this week's Phoenix. Yet despite -- or because of -- their obvious frontrunner status, these two incumbents seemingly can't make it to a debate with their opponents...
Coverage in yesterday's ProJo reaffirmed the obvious: that Jon Scott and Mark Zaccaria are running woefully underfunded longshot battles, respectively, against Patrick Kennedy and Jim Langevin. Yet that won't stop the local GOP from making an...
Patrick J. Kennedy might not be the smoothest speaker, but he came off pretty well during a 2006 RI-PBS debate (during which I was a panelist) when he was paired with Jon Scott and Ken Capalbo. Incumbents nonetheless habitually try to minimize their debate...
UPDATE : From projo.com : Frank also dismissed charges the Democrats failed on their own or blocked Republican efforts to rein in the mortgage companies Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac. The federal government recently took control of both entities. House Minority...

Joining the recent migration of political staffers, West Warwick native Paul Tencher , former chief of staff for LG Elizabeth Roberts, sends word that he's headed West: I have accepted an offer from Judy Baker , a wonderful woman running for Congress...
Rachael Bornstein is filling the legislative director role for US Representative Jim Langevin in his DC office, succeeding 10-year veteran Brian Daniels, a Warwick native, who plans to pursue an MBA at Yale. Daniels formerly worked for former US Representative...
Neither Robin J. Costello or the office of US Representative Patrick J. Kennedy is in a rush to talk about it, but Costello is the latest press secretary for Kennedy to move on. Sources tell N4N that Costello, previously the communications director for...
From today's Washington Post . Thanks to Tommy from Queens for the tip. When Jim Langevin first rolled his wheelchair onto Capitol Hill in 1984 as a young Senate intern, barriers to the disabled in this city were even more common than the bollards...
Republcan Jonathan Scott , who opposed US Representative Patrick Kennedy in 2006, is taking another bite at the apple. Anyone going up against a Kennedy can count on two things: a tough time (as former Navy SEAL Dave Rogers learned in two tries), and...
