Today the Times has has this to say about the race here on our side of the pond:

“Kennedy was a good friend of the lobstermen,” explained Feeney. “He would help whenever we had a problem. I just think the Democrats have forgotten the working man.”

The lobstermen are not the only ones jumping ship. The latest polls show the Republicans ahead in America’s most liberal state. The party has not won a Senate seat here for 37 years. The Democrats are so worried about losing the seat that Obama is flying in tomorrow, despite the crisis in Haiti.

To lose Kennedy’s seat would be a humiliating end to Obama’s first year in power, particularly as Kennedy was one of the first senior Democrats to endorse him for president. Not only would it be an ominous sign for the mid-term elections later this year but it would lose the Democrats their supermajority in the Senate, robbing them of their ability to sidestep Republican filibusters, and derail healthcare reform.

How come those British reporters have no trouble finding these guys in a crowd?

Update: I checked the Irish times, no stories but the Irish Independent did have an attack ad against Brown running in its top banner. I wonder if they have an ad buy in “Massachusettes” too?
