Boring, wake me up when we hear from somebody with actual clout like Beto's old bandmate.

But Biden wanted Beto's endorsement when he won the primary against Bernie, dont forget that

He's a non-factor. He has been ever since he decided to make a joke of himself and run for President. He has no future unless he wants his old House seat back. He let his temporary fame from a Senate race (which he lost) go to his head and lived under the delusion that almost beating Ted Cruz suddenly made him the best choice for next President.

He's turned himself into a punchline of a million bad jokes.

It's quite fitting, considering that both of them "Are just born to be in it"

You arent actually accurate on Beto or Kennedy, MA was always a less diverse state for the Kennedys. That's why Robert ran for Senate in NY and Eunis Shriver went to MD and married SGT Shriver and moved to Cali. Pollsters all jump to the conclusion the Joe Kennedy is a born loser, but Markey is only winning in less diverse MA.

Try running boring Markey in IL, CA, MD, NY where other Kennedys have ran, he would lose 90/10, I am sure, my family in IL and I dont like Markey and many AA in both states dont understand that Kennedy is losing to Market

You miss the key point that the race is in Massachusetts.

This is further proof that he was a standard establishment Democrat masquerading as a progressive back in 2018.

Poor Kennedy. This is an ad by the Electrical Workers' union trying to support him. They have a giant Kennedy sign by their headquarters alongside I-93 in...

the Dorchester neighborhood of Boston.

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

Why do we say poor Kennedy and he is wealthy, Warren is bound to go the Cabinet and Pressley or whomever wants her seat will run for it.


Among people of color, in other states, we are baffled as to a Markey beating a Kennedy that would only happen in Boston

MA is consistently losing population anyways, since it has the highest unemployment rate and the Patriots don't have Brady any longer

[new_patomic]

I don't actually mean this to be another pile on

But if/when he does lose, one of the questions Kennedy is going have to ask himself is how he let his campaign organization get so... messy. Mistakes are an unavoidable part of politics, but some of these have been downright embarrassing on his behalf.

Imma call it now Kennedy wins comfortably tomorrow

That might be the worst prediction this website has ever seen.

I’ll Venmo you $200 if Kennedy wins comfortably (5+)

Hell, I’ll throw $100 if he wins at all

Ah you jinxed it, now watch the race be so close that we're gonna need weeks-long recounts.

Massachusetts is losing population to Tampa because Tom Brady left.

Markey isn't poised to win anything, until all the votes are counted, don't count your chickens, Markey, this a primary, not a GE

What a moron

Can someone link that Kennedy Markey projector?

[Babeuf]

Probably getting worried over nothing (election eve jitters?) but the enormous turnout could easily lead to a polling miss here. 2013 special D senate primary was 542,704 voters total. This will be more than double that (per SoS projection).

[SCNCmod]

I like Kennedy (& Beto) and I think a younger Senator is probably better overall for the Party-

But 1 thing I find a little offputting (which maybe shouldn't matter) is Kennedy's speaking style.  He speaks with machine gun type staccato pacing & doesn't enunciate the end of his sentences- it doesn't have a reassuring effect due to its almost frantic nature.

 I've always wondered: why have advisors, consultants, etc, not advised him/ or worked with him/ to improve his speaking style/ delivery. As much as he has going for him- I think he would be far more effective if he had a more reassuring- or in control- style of speaking (by simply slowing down a bit and adding some equilibrium to his cadence).

I am from the south, so maybe a regional thing (although I like accents from other regions of the county, including the NE, boston, etc. and I think JFK, RFK, Ted all have very effective speaking styles- from the various famous clips I remember seeing)?  

Am I an exception in this regard- or do others feel the same? (regardless of whether or not you like Joe personally).
