Technically _that Senate seat_ was won by Lodge in 46,
JFK in 52, then the placeholder Smith in 60 followed by Ted in 62, etc. so yes THAT seat in question was last won by a Republican w/ Lodge.
However it can be interpreted as “when was the last Republican elected to Sen. from MA”? In that case the answer is Brooke. Brooke was followed by Tsongas in 78 and Kerry has had it since 84 (actually early 85)
I wonder if Sen. Brown gets to occupy Teddy’s former office, or if Harry will put all the offices into his giant revolving barrel and draw chits for new offices? Or reward his cronies with better offices with a game of musical chairs and relegate the junior, junior Senator from MA with a coat closet in the back hall?
What about the “secret” offices that many of them have in the back labrynths of the Senate office building? Does Scott get one of those?
