Does this mean that all 55 4th Generation Kennedys should become senators?

I'm afraid of what MM's answer to this question will be.

Lol No. But the Kennedy’s got to be the Kennedy’s for a reason. Good looks and tragedy didn’t hurt but they are brilliant at connecting with the average voter. Despite there privileged life you never get the sense they don’t get what the average man is going through.

It’s literally been numbing to me to see how people have turned on this guy ... and what’s made it worse is - for Ed Markey?!?!?!?!?!. Would I take Joe over pretty much anyone in the state? Probably. But I’d GET it if Pressley or Healey we’re catching on. Or if this was about Warren. But Ed Markey?! ED MARKEY?!?!?

Sorry to break it to you, but people evidently like Ed Markey. Just because you don't doesn't mean a majority of others are bound to agree with you.

There are now rumors flying on Twitter that some of the Election Twitter folks made up the Gravis poll in an attempt to carry out a pump-and-dump scheme on PredictIt markets.

Does anyone know what the hell is going on?!

This takes political junkiness to a whole new level.  5D chess there.

They're not rumors. They did fake the poll, for the lulz apparently. They've since deleted their accounts.

Anybody underestimating Kennedy don't understand that Kennedy is liked by voters and can still win the election which will help Ds, he is a great fundraiser and can add more money to Ds to help them win the Senate back in Nov

I’m sorry and I mean this respectfully ....


You literally know zero about politics if you think this is still a race. This is over.

Joe Kennedy is a fundraising machine and is close to Van Hollen,  unlike Markey, due to his ancestry.  People on the forum got it backwards that Joe wants to get empowered due to his money. Even Shriver and Schwarzenegger put their money up for charity. Chris Van Hollen and Joe are close due to Sgt Shriver connection. Has the Kennedys ever used their money to get power? No, the Kennedys got killed to help the war on poverty. Dems can win 9 seats in the Senate if Kennedy is the nominee,  will help Kelly, Cunningham and Hegar👍👍👍, Kennedy will defeat Markey this Tues. We cant afford a Humphrey Markey any longer.

6 years of seeing doomer **** happen in elections have taught me that Kennedy still might pull this out.

Is this some reverse psychology? If it were possible to bet online I’d literally bet $400-$100 odds Markey wins this thing. I felt that way long before anyone else was even hinting at a Markey win. Weird how the Kennedy supporter and Markey loather was first time see this coming

Humphrey was the guy who got a civil rights plank installed in the 1948 Democratic platform and dragged the party to the left on civil rights.

Markey could be in worse company.

I said he is behind, but he isnt behind as much as the polls indicate, the polls showed 20, 11 and then two, its probably 6 and he can possibly make that up, but he is now the underdog

Who wants to tell Kennedy that there's no such place as Worchester, MA?

Stronger suburban turnout should largely be seen as good news for Markey, given his base in the primary is Boston suburbia.

[Amenhotep Bakari-Sellers]

I am glad the primary is over, Congrats to Markey, I wont have to worry about anymore campaign ads for this race. MA gets to reelect another Senator out of 100 than elect a genuine Senator Joe

There's a great clip of AOC in Knock Down The House where she compared her mailers with Crowley & said you could tell which one was written by an activist & which one was written by a consultant.
