The Mass. election of a former Navy Seal whose allegiance to the Republican Party is questionable may be the aleatory card in the stacked deck. He could be liberal enough for Dems to cross lines. Markey is not considered the high and mighty Dem leader. Sh**, he has the voice of Eeyore and is less personable.
I remember Markey from the clinton years and do not like him. Good luck in that election. A for you.
