Of course, the problem with urging people to use a hashtag like this one is that there’s a way to measure your ad’s effectiveness. And this one isn’t doing that well.

If you don’t count current Markey campaign and other Democratic political staff, political consultants, abortion-rights groups that are backing Markey, journalists writing about the ad, and people mocking the hashtag, about 13 real honest-to-goodness people have actually tweeted or retweeted this hashtag in the ten hours or so since it was posted online.

Be sure to look at the two updates at the bottom -- pretty funny.

I worked on his campaign for State Rep when I was in high school because his girlfriend was my sister’s best friend. Plus he was a BC guy who lived around the corner from me. I also bought into the Kennedy BS at that time and Nixon wanted me to go to Vietnam. When I grew up I realized that yes, Markey was just like the Kennedys. Of course I knew what that really meant. God forgive me!

Ed Markey should retire gracefully....never mind.

And, the other shoe drops — Markey’s pretending to worry about Iranian hacker threats against the power grid because he has to face the voters.
