Warren and Markey.

How avid was Markey for Warren?

(have not googled to look it up. Someone better informed on the specifics can answer.

Will her fans come out at all costs to vote for him on the first week of summer after school closes.

Key is to lock up all early votes the day early voting starts.

Excellent choice. Mass Jan 2013 #1

So Sorry... mpcamb Jan 2013 #2

Cowan is a good man. No reason to be sorry. Time to let MA decide its own fate. Mass Jan 2013 #4

I think it should have been Barney, too. But it's not our call. Unfortunately. nt MADem Jan 2013 #9

It is our call. cyclezealot Feb 2013 #84

It's too late. The appointment has been made. We all asked for Barney. We all cheered when he MADem Feb 2013 #86

Time to move on. earthside Jan 2013 #30

I think there's good reason why it's not Barney; greiner3 Jan 2013 #33

Barney asked to be chosen. nt valerief Jan 2013 #53

Barney doesn't want to run for Senator lunatica Jan 2013 #56

Barney asked for the interim slot only; Elizabeth Warren WANTED him there. MADem Jan 2013 #66

I'm not Marrah_G Jan 2013 #69

I was hoping for Mo Rocca. Ian David Jan 2013 #3

Does this mean Barney Frank may be full-time Senate candidate? malexand Jan 2013 #5

He could, but he wont. Mass Jan 2013 #6

Too old. He's tired. He just wanted to do this "one last thing." MADem Jan 2013 #11

More links to reporters with the news: TroyD Jan 2013 #7

Deval Patrick showed some political courage here. Mass Jan 2013 #8

I assume Patrick did this so as not to favor any one candidate running for the permanent seat TroyD Jan 2013 #10

He also said he wanted to appoint a minority or a woman. Mass Jan 2013 #12

A gay male is a minority. Though probably five or six others are, but not out. graham4anything Jan 2013 #17

Lindsey Graham (R-Scared of GOP-base) is out to everyone BUT the voters of SC. blm Jan 2013 #23

I would have thought that gay elderly men were a fairly rare commodity in that body.... MADem Jan 2013 #18

I am more concerned by the election itself now that Lynch seems decided to throw his hat in the ring Mass Jan 2013 #20

"I am more concerned by the election itself" TroyD Jan 2013 #21

I was talking about the democratic primary, not the general election. Mass Jan 2013 #25

I wish Lynch would just step back, but he seems determined to press his case. MADem Jan 2013 #24

There are no gay males in the Senate dbackjon Jan 2013 #44

Well, if you don't count Lindsay Graham. MADem Jan 2013 #72

Why would I count Lindsey Graham dbackjon Jan 2013 #73

No--but he's an open secret. R-Closet, is how John Aravosis puts it.. MADem Jan 2013 #74

I know of John Aravosis dbackjon Jan 2013 #75

Well, you have likely heard of Mike Rogers, too, then. MADem Jan 2013 #80

Or to throw a bone to a pal--if he'd given the gig to Barney, no candidate would have been favored. MADem Jan 2013 #13

But Barney would have had a hard time staying out of the limelight. Mass Jan 2013 #15

I think that having Barney IN the limelight would bring attention to the race. MADem Jan 2013 #19

I wish Barney would run for the 2 year term, then Vicky Kennedy. We need a superstar in the Senate graham4anything Jan 2013 #27

Naah. Barney wants to retire, he just knew that he could help with "the financials" because that is MADem Jan 2013 #29

Deval managed to piss off the senior senator from MA with that move... MADem Jan 2013 #57

Wow. I didn't know that Elizabeth had said that... Little Star Jan 2013 #59

She did it at the "hometown" swearing in over in Roxbury. MADem Jan 2013 #60

It does appear there might be. Personally, I think it's our loss to have bypassed Barney. Little Star Jan 2013 #61

I watched the post-announcement mini-presser w/Deval on the MADem Jan 2013 #62

Mo Cowan was a great choice. Those of us in MA didn't think it would be Barney Frank. Katorama Jan 2013 #68

"Those of us in MA?" Where do you think I am posting from, Timbuktoo? MADem Jan 2013 #71

There were a number of people being considered for the interim post. I'm confident Governor Patrick Katorama Jan 2013 #76

I'm less confident, but at the end of the day, it really doesn't matter. MADem Jan 2013 #77

"Those in MA didn't think"? I'm from MA and was thinking it would be Frank chelsea0011 Jan 2013 #83

Courage? What's courageous about appointing a crony, a personal aide? MADem Jan 2013 #67

Vicky Kennedy is a nice lady, but she's a carpetbagger. She's from New Orleans. MADem Jan 2013 #22

Vicky Kennedy helped Teddy beat Mitt. She also is #1 on the anti-gun issue. and she is a woman. graham4anything Jan 2013 #28

Teddy beat Mitt in debate. He rolled him up and wiped the floor with him. MADem Jan 2013 #31

If you recall the timeline, Mitt was closer than he should have during the lead up graham4anything Jan 2013 #32

And it was the debate--nothing Vicky said--that did it for him. MADem Jan 2013 #34

Who do you think helped prep Teddy and made him take the race serious graham4anything Jan 2013 #39
