Joe is my Rep and I voted for him for said office. I disagree with Katie as does Warren. First time I met Warren was when she was stumping for Markey. I value Warrens opinion since she represents MA.

candidates in this race so it will mostly be about personal relationships and just personal appeal. Kennedy has an advantage .

But i'm not from Mass and the seat will remain democratic so that's the more important thing so I don't feel that strongly either way but would support Markey if i was there.

Markey can get a job in the Biden Administration. Maybe in some environmental area.

8. Oh no. Markey has been behind all liberal interest. I hate this ridiculous conversation.

I loved Kennedy since I was a Massachusetts Kennedy from early 60’s, but Markey has been in the place he should he because he earned it.

As much as I love Kennedy, not this time.

I find Markey's views on energy and the environment appalling.

I'm not in Massachusetts however.

If Warren is chosen for Biden's cabinet, there will be an opening in MA Senate so this primary could be moot anyway.
