Patrick Kennedy Not Seeking Re-Election Promises a Lively, Vigorous Primary

I knew that the primary day was the day with all the action. With Patrick Kennedy not running the field is now wide open. I’ll bet Betsy Dennigan is kicking her ass. She’s the person running against Jim Langevin. In order to run against him she had to change her official residence. If she had stayed where she was, she’d be in a perfect position to run for Patrick’s seat. As it stands now, Republican John Loughlin is in the race and there is a strong possibility that Democrat Jon Brien may run. Speculation about David Cicilline, the Mayor of Providence, has been bandied about. My guess is we will be hearing from Stephen Laffey. I'll put money one it. I’ll post more when I have had a chance to study the charts of all involved as well as Primary Day chart. Things will start to sizzle and pop after Mars goes direct on March 10th. Stay tuned.
