The southern Massachusetts Congressional seat of Democrat Rep. William Delahunt has been in the news, with yet another Kennedy making noises of a run - Robert Kennedy III, grandson of RFK - on the Democrat side. (AP article)

Longtime Libertaian Republican Bob Hedlund, is still weighing a run for the Congressional seat of the embattled representative.

From the Boston Herald, Feb. 3:

Hedlund, an 18-year senator and part-time radio host, said internal polls done by his campaign show him “within striking distance” of beating Delahunt in a head-to-head race. But the polling also shows a bruising battle in a three-way GOP primary against Perry (R-Sandwich) and former state Treasurer Joseph Malone, who is also weighing a run...

Meanwhile, Hedlund's friend and political ally in the Legislature has decided to jump in. Upon announcing State Rep. Jeffrey Perry said:

"They need someone who will stand up for the things they believe in and fight for action on issues like real health care reform without mandates, better job opportunities, checks on illegal immigration, national security, lower taxes and less national debt, and an end to the insider and special-interest dealing that permeates Capitol Hill. People across the South Shore, Cape Cod & the Islands are tired and frustrated with what they see as a system in Washington that’s broken and that’s incapable of progress on issues that matter to them. I want to be someone who changes that."

Perry is viewed as one of the two most conservative members of the Massachusetts Legislature. He's on record in favor of denying illegal immigrants state benefits that "cost Massachusetts legal residents millions of dollars every year."
