It does seem odd to go after a loyal incumbent.
I do not want to see another Kennedy succeed in politics, but I also despise professional pols like Markey who has been in office 43 years. Fortunately I don’t live in Massachusetts.
So MSM worshiping is now called magic.
They don’t like Drooly Scrumptious that much?
Wow! If Kennedy loses then I’d say we can finally declare Camelot to be dead...
If it’s Ed Markey vs. Joe Kennedy III, the Democrat Senate primary next year could be a once-in- a-lifetime political event.
For the first time in two generations, maybe more, the Kennedy in the fight would be the more intelligent of the two candidates, and it wouldn’t even be close.
At his St. Patrick’s Day breakfast, Billy Bulger used to say of then-Cong. Ed Markey: “To a battle of wits, he comes unarmed.”
Eddie Markey is a guy who schemed for 40 years to get to the Senate, and then when he finally arrived, on a fluke, in 2013, his first vote was, “Present.”
After the Super Bowl a couple of years ago, Ed Markey stood up on the floor of the Senate and congratulated “the Boston Patriots.”
Ed Markey – the man that time forgot. It looks like time just got a wake-up call from the front desk.
If it comes down to Markey vs Kennedy, I’ll vote for Kennedy.
I guess he doesn’t expect Warren’s senate seat to be open anytime soon!
Run 3rd party.
You just might win.
It is fitting that an empty suit like markey is being threatened by a younger, but even emptier suit from a famous family of empty suits.
He needs to go out, buy an 70’s era Oldsmobile and Murder a young girl pronto.
The media won’t give the Kennedy name a rest. Anything that happens to anyone remotely related to a Kennedy is considered news. If the person has a last name other than Kennedy, he is introduced by something like: “Kennedy cousin Michael Skakel...”
Let it drop! They are not important because they are distantly related to J. F. Kennedy.
And it wasn’t Camelot.
No way Mr. Frosty beats a Kennedy in a Massachusetts election. Eddie needs to retire.
Honestly, I hate them both. But Markey is about as scummy and crooked as they come. This is one of those races I don’t care about.
“Scratch a conservative and you find someone who prefers the past over any future. Scratch a liberal and find a closet aristocrat. It’s true! Liberal governments always develop into aristocracies.
The bureaucracies betray the true intent of people who form such governments. Right from the first, the little people who formed the governments which promised to equalize the social burdens found themselves suddenly in the hands of bureaucratic aristocracies. Of course, all bureaucracies follow this pattern, but what a hypocrisy to find this even under a communized banner. Ahhh, well, if patterns teach me anything it’s that patterns are repeated. My oppressions, by and large, are no worse than any of the others and, at least, I teach a new lesson. —”

No Kennedy’s, Bush’s, Clinton’s, or Obama’s...ever again!
