This will help us just a little. He beat a Kennedy last time and cut the family down a notch. Shows the establishment conflicts will stay with them even though the challenger Mouton is 'moderate'(far left). At his age the seat will have to be addressed again rather than turned over to the younger fella for 2+ terms. Voters don't seem to take age into consideration and there's too many old geezers in place. Let the democrats inner conflicts continue.

This filthy Maoist fossil is spending serious $$$ on ads in the state. As is almost always the case in this state (99.9% of the time) the worst candidate will prevail today...and in November.

The old man will lose. Geriatric establishment after Biden are unpopular in both parties

If not for Patty Murray of Washington, Ed Markey would be the dumbest person in the US Senate.

[PTBAA]

Markey is an out-in-out Communist. Regardless of the primary outcome, the seat is owned by the Democrat party.

I think it would be better to have the young lunatic win, he can’t do any more damage than Markey and letting him speak often on the national stage often will help the conservative cause.

“. . . 80-year-old junior senator”

[ek_hornbeck]

I have no doubt that Moulton's voting patterns would be as bad as Markey's, and that regardless of who the nominee is Massachusetts will send a Democrat to the Senate.

However, I would like to see Moulton win just to chip away at our Gerontocracy. Regardless of party, I'm tired of being ruled by 80-somethings.

Which guy is the less scumbaggy?

Of course, Markey will survive. Moulton is basically the same and hasn’t given people any reason to vote for him. Markey has won over the Democrats leftwing base and that’s who votes in the primaries. If Moulton had won over the left, he might have a chance, but he didn’t so he doesn’t.

Barring a fluke, like the Scott Brown special election, Democrats are always going to win MA’s Senate seats, but neither Markey nor Moulton is presidential material. Last time, I took a D ballot and voted for the Kennedy boy in the primary hoping that at least it would be the end of Markey. It looks more like it was the end of the Kennedys.
