In reply to the discussion: Dem Rep. Markey Wins US Senate Election In Mass. [View all]calimary
(81,265 posts)10. Interesting. I think you make a good point, sofa king.
This is a good move - I've liked Ed Markey for a long time, and I think he'll be a GREAT voice in the Senate. Hopefully CNN and "Meet the Press" and the rest of 'em will find him harder to ignore now that he's one of only 100 rather than one out of 400+. He was our point man on net neutrality in the House. He's a good guy. MAN, with Elizabeth Warren AND Ed Markey, the proud and revered Massachusetts progressive/liberal tradition continues!
Congratulations Massachusetts! EXCELLENT move - from which we will ALL benefit, from coast to coast!

One of the best senate teams in the country. Only ones close might be Schumer and Gillibrand (NY)

Very sorry for that mistake-I'm old enough to remember when Wisconsin was solid blue too
