12. Ego might go either way

I think he never lost before and he had a very inflated ego.

It is not clear which is the safer way to get back into power - Senate or Governor. I assume that he might not have a choice. If he doesn't run for the Senate and Markey (or another D) wins, the Republicans might fault him for not running and refuse to nominate him. If he runs and loses, I would guess that he might become a lobbyist. (However I wonder how valuable he is as a lobbyist as a Senator's value is likely his relationships and it is not clear his are all that good - once he loses again.)

What I thought weird was that I never before saw a politician create an image of their being less than perfect harmony with his/her spouse -- even when time shows there were problems. The second sentence - that he thought about (presumably Gail not speaking to him) a long time , then cleaned the garage anyway sounds pretty petulant and immature.
