John Kerry

And, in a way, this is a new beginning for Mass. But, it is hard to be happy about someone you all could rely on for so many years, now leaving. PA faced similar challanges when our longest serving Senator, Sen. Specter was defeated a couple of years ago. I know he was a Republican for years,but he started out serving PA as a Democrat many years ago, so for those who remembered him from Philadephia, we always thought of him as a conservative Democrat and he died a Democrat. He was a moderate voice, and he was excellent at helping the people of PA. After he lost, and Tomey won, Senator Casey became our senior senator. Casey is fairly new to the Senate himself, so we are being served by two newer senators also.
