Boston Herald: "Ed Markey losing to Joe Kennedy, needs game-changer to catch up"

Appears to be a battle of the 2 Boston papers.

Boston Herald's view of the Markey/Kennedy race is a bit less personally biased against Kennedy than the writers of the Boston Globe piece.
*For instance:
Boston Globe writer on Kennedy, "In the email, the Kennedy campaign also took aim at a Globe columnist, Scot Lehigh, who authored a series of critical pieces about Kennedy, including one under the headline: "It’s TV’s best new comedy: Why is Joe Kennedy running for the US Senate?"

Ed Markey losing to Joe Kennedy, needs game-changer to catch up
Joe Battenfeld
PUBLISHED: June 25, 2020

Markey, a Malden Democrat who has copped endorsements from some well-known progressive and environmental groups, needs to have strong support in progressive areas like the Berkshires in order to overcome Kennedy’s advantage in the Boston area.

Kennedy had a whopping 30-point lead in Boston in a poll conducted in May by Emerson College, according to polling director Spencer Kimball. The only place Markey held his own was in the North Shore, which is near where Markey lives.
The only demographic Markey led in was in voters with post-graduate degrees — not exactly a rallying cry for victory.

Kennedy held a 16-point lead statewide in Emerson’s
last poll, which was conducted before Kennedy and Markey’s latest debate in the first week of June.

Kimball said there is still time for Markey to turn around the race, because more than half the voters in the state could still change their minds.

Have at it & good luck to 2 fine Democrats from MA.

Seems to be the Globe vs Herald.

Yes I know he makes good speeches and many people think they need to be inspired to do the right thing.

I have come to see that dependency as the reason we have failed to achieve full democracy and are living in the shadow of authoritarianism.

I am no longer impressed by the speechifiers. I understand the value of the Merkels, the Markeys and the Lewises.
