Markey's Senate Play

Is Markey trying to clear the field?  That would probably be a good thing for Markey and for the Democrats.  Markey himself is probably lighting a fucking candle to do his best to get a primary on the Republican side; that would be a great chance to watch all-American fuckhead Scott Brown get savaged and weaken Markey's eventual opponent.  I'm not sure he's going to be that lucky, but it is Massachusetts, so the Dems fucking this up should not be tolerated.
