I had the pleasure of working with New York Times reporter Arthur Sulzberger on a story about how even Hyannisport, the home of the Kennedy compound, went for Scott Brown in the recent MA special election to fill Ted Kennedy’s senate seat. I was surprised to find out that this was far from the first time his hometown went for one of his challengers.

Kennedy’s casket at the John F. Kennedy Presidential Library in Boston. The senior Senator from Massachusetts died on 8/25/09 at the Kennedy compound in Hyannis after losing his battle with brain cancer. Kennedy’s body laid in repose at the library until his funeral mass on Saturday at The Basilica of Our Lady of Perpetual Help in Boston’s Mission Hill section.
