MA-SEN Megathread: Senator Markey wins

[Amenhotep Bakari-Sellers]

As states about MA is not as diverse state, John and Teddy were elected from MA, but all the other Kennedys, SGT Shriver, MD, RFK from NY and Schwarzenegger from CA, elected from other diverse states.

Typical of Boston liberals to choose Markey over a Kennedy just like they chose Scott Brown over Coakley. R Govs except for Deval Patrick have been elected.  That's how conservative MA is

New Markey Ad is possibly the best this cycle.

Boston liberals didn’t vote for Scott Brown lmaooo nice trolling though.

Glad to see Markey hedging his bets on going hard left. Might as well go all in, take a stand, and make it as evident as possible that Kennedy is challenging him from the right.

[Amenhotep Bakari-Sellers]

This is a race among forum pollsters for bragging rights over who would win, again, among brucejoel, Bagel and Johnson against the field. Just like it was in the primary among the Biden supporters against the field. But, its MA, not NY. It's not a national primary

That last line is so hilariously shady

I don't care that it's nearly 3 minutes long, this might unironically be the greatest political ad of all time.

[YE]

That Markey ad makes me proud to be a Democrat. Highlights his record and priorities and their importance during a time of crisis while portraying government in a positive light.

Yeah, this ad is it. His best argument for reelection. Solid progressive record with some Kennedy shade. And a beautiful Malden brogue, to boot. I've been solidly Markey before this, but after seeing this ad I'm fired up.

I will run through a wall for this man.

I watched this ad, and I am genuinely impressed. Rarely have I seen a political ad as well produced as this one. Markey was able to point to a long record of substantive legislative accomplishments, and is clearly touting his progressive credentials. I think that this, along with his personal background (having worked his way up the ladder in contrast to Kennedy, who was born with a silver spoon in his mouth and had everything handed to him), both came through.

What a badass. I can't believe people actually want this guy primaried. Bonus points for top notch music.

[Amenhotep Bakari-Sellers]

The problem with Gross and Kennedy, Gross has refused to say whom he would caucus with and Kennedy is running as a blue dog, Begich and the Kennedys are known for their pragmatic ways not for their conservative ways and most of Kennedys videos are about himself, not about what he will do for the people. The ads were described as negative by Market

[😥]

This is one of the greatest ads I've ever seen. Go, Ed Markey! We need you in the Senate!

[Amenhotep Bakari-Sellers]

I dont mind Kennedy losing, he wasnt gonna go have a shot to be Prez, anyways, now that Kamala Harris is gonna be Veep

[Brittain33]

You know there's some version of this with The Dropkick Murphys' "Shipping up to Boston" in the background that got vetoed.

We're one election away from Matt Damon casting himself as Sen. Markey in a movie where he discovers a cure for COVID while delivering food boxes to a young widow in Southie.

Ed Markey, campaign wizard and ad genius.

I love it.

It’s pathetic how much everyone on this thread is buying Markeys BS just because they’re anti-dynasty. Even if JK is likely to do more for Massachusetts. I’d say thank god my state is smarter than this thread but clearly from all indications they aren’t

I'm not anti-dynasty. If this was an open seat, I'd honestly support JK3. This is rank opportunism from Kennedy, which I'm not a fan of, and simply put, his entire campaign is his legacy + Ayanna Pressley cosplay. Go to Markey's website, they have a list of everything he's done for all of the 350+ towns and cities in our state.

I care about climate change and support the GND. Markey has made it his cause and I support him for that.

[Amenhotep Bakari-Sellers]

As stated before, this is MA, not MD or IL, they will chose a Market over a Kennedy. It's a primary that has become nationalized

Just like I was the first to endorse Harris for Prez and then Bernie, Biden only selected Harris, because Trump was closing in on Ukraine Biden with Reade allegations

If the Reade allegations came up during primary, Bernie or Warren or Harris would have been nominated

What BS? You have never explained once what this is

Doing more for Massachusetts? How??? He certainly hasn’t in the House.

You’re seriously insinuating that people who support Markey are stupid, all the while acting the victim? Come on. Most of us support Markey not because we “hate dynasties” (the more common argument is that it shouldn’t matter what his last name is), it’s because we believe Markey is a good Senator, and that Kennedy is using this primary as a launching pad to a presidential run, without offering anything other than his last name.
