So one of the things that makes a New England politician successful, more than that "D" at the end of their name and a liberal track record, is a love of the Boston Red Sox. That is a very unique trait of politicians from the late-Sen. Ted Kennedy and Sen. John Kerry to Boston Mayor Tom Menino, all Ds and all die-hard Red Sox fans. Needless to say that the voters that hail from Red Sox Nation want their representatives on the federal, state, and local level to represent them from their views, their needs, and yes, their baseball.
So I'm sure that Red Sox fans across the United States loved hearing vaporizing Democrat candidate Martha Coakley call Phillies and Red Sox pitching great Curt Schilling (note the stronger emphasis on Phillies) "another YANKEES fan" (and Red Sox Nation shreaks in terror). Yes, you read that right, Bosox fans, the person that wants to represent you in the U.S. Senate, who wants the seat of one of the biggest Red Sox fans to set foot in Congress, called the bloody sock pitcher on "Nightside with Dan Rea" a "YANKEES fan"!
This is absolute heresy in the Commonwealth of Massachusetts and it will be interesting to see, as a conservative Yankee hater, how this statement will work on behalf of Red Sox fan Scott Brown on Tuesday.
Note the change of tone in Dan Rea's voice after the infamous claim:

Was wondering what comes before the "D" at the end of the names of successful New England politicians... Perhaps it's "Kenne"...
