13. Why do you equate things in love/hate? I love having the senate in democratic hands.

I have nothing against Markey except he is an awful candidate. The OP says it.
History shows it.

Some people can be great congresspeople in their little district, however, that does not equate to being a state wide candidate. It just means the people in ones district like him.

The state of Mass has twice elected a republican governor.
And in recent history two republican senators.
So it is not a given the state will elect democratic candidates.

Vicky Kennedy would make it alot easier.
