MA-SEN Megathread: Senator Markey wins

[GoTfan]

Let's go Joe Ed

[Brittain33]

Kennedy's ads have arrived in force in my Facebook feed.

Markey fans are commenting on them.

Next they just need to send in FDR Jnr....

Jokes aside this race is a fascinating example of the importance that national campaign groups give you over random hill endorsements.

The Roosevelts at least had the smarts to stick to low-profile lives in banking or law or whatever after Eleanor died. They knew they couldn't match FDR or TR's stature.

Yeah like most members of the Kennedy's generation before this they had short terms in the House & quit- although my post was a snarky reference to when the Kenendy's sent Fdr Jnr to West Virginia to lie about Humphrey's war record.

 Oh, didn't get that reference. I never knew FDR Jr. was involved in that West Virginia primary (which I did know was dirty and they throw the book at HHH there)

Oh he definitely was.

The Kennedys, and especially RFK, were dirty campaigners. Hell, those pamphlets supposedly released about a Catholic President? There's a pretty good chance that the Kennedy campaign itself printed them.

[Blair]

It's quite funny as for a while the dirty campaign tactic of the 1960 convention was assumed to be John Connally attacking Kennedy for having addisons & being too unwell... which ofc was denied strongly by the Kennedy camp.

This is awesome.

Another example of "Elect me because my last name is Kennedy"

The replies to that tweet are sickening.

Everyone knows this is a dress rehearsal for Kennedy to run, should Biden lose or retire in 2024 after 1 term. Kennedy if he wins win be the 47th Prez if he wins this seat

That's why I donated to his campaign

No matter how much you oppose a politician, wishing harm to them is off limits.

I’ve been contacted by the Markey campaign twice this week, the second time after I’d said I was committed to him (but I’m not mad), and not yet by JKIII.

Lean Markey

He’s run a great campaign

[Amenhotep Bakari-Sellers]

This race isnt over. The lead has flipped 3 times, now we get a landslide poll, unless another poll backs it up, Kennedy isnt finished, but he is behind probably by 4 to 6 pts

[MillennialModerate]

I said this race was Likely Markey before a single poll came out showing him ahead.

Just saying.

Also note: My state is a joke

[here2view]

Just watched the most recent debate. I supported Kennedy before but I’m voting for Markey now.

What happened during the debate that changed your mind on who to vote for (if you don't mind my asking)?

According to the "Words most associated" bit, Kennedy is an entitled, young, ambitious opportunist.

That is the most accurate summary of him ever.

Yeah this makes NO SENSE. There has been debates where Markey was better but this was not one of them. Kennedy crushes him in this debate. No idea what’s going on with this line of thinking

[MillennialModerate]

A lot of people saying this race isn’t over - I’m sorry but your knowledge for politics doesn’t meet your passion if you think that. It has been crystal clear the trajectory of this race. I’d bet a heavy penny on this race right now. It’s Likely Markey.

It’s been clear for some time how this is going and I guess I was the only one on here that could see it which is ironic cause I’m the biggest Kennedy supporter

[Amenhotep Bakari-Sellers]

This is MA of all states, it's not a national election, and Kennesys have won in more diverse states MD Kathleen Kennedy as LT Gov, and SGT Shriver and Cali with Maria Shriver as 1st lady to Schwarzenegger

I remember you claimed that it was actually Lean Kennedy because MA+Kennedy=heart.
