I listened to Charlie Summers on Channel 6 on Tuesday night; and after listening to him, I am convinced he could never replace Olympia Snowe as a United States senator.

He already has made up his mind that he will continue with the bottleneck in Washington by saying that he already has signed a pledge not to increase any taxes. This is why so many politicians are handcuffed — because they have signed this pledge. He obviously won’t compromise. Why would we want him?

The folks who have fought for the 99 percent should not vote for him. How can he possibly think he could replace Snowe?

I wonder if others in his party have signed this pledge. I think they should reveal it before the primaries.
