MA is based on what happens during the next six months- does Brown-R run in the July 2013 Special Election, can he win a hard fought general election against Markey-D with the help from Warren-D,Patrick-D,Frank-D,Capuano-D,McGovern-D,and the surviving members of Kennedy family, Joe and Vicky. If Brown-R does not run, Markey-D wins the special election by a wide margin. If Brown-R runs, the race becomes a Tossup, If Markey-D defeats Brown-R in the special-the 2014 MA US Senate Race moves into the Likely Democratic collumn, Brown's political career is over. If Brown-R wins the special election, 2014 MA US Senate Race will be a Tossup-depending on Vicky Kennedy,Deval Patrick,or Ed Markey running.
