Do you think if Mississippi had a Republican with strong name recognition running against a no-name Democrat that the Democrat would be trailing this closely?

C'mon Massachusetts...what the heck??

I grew up in Florida and I've known the name "Edward Markey" since the 1980's. You mean to tell me that people in the same state where Markey has been a congressman for 25+ years don't know his name? C'mon, now.

Gomez doesn't act like a Mississippi Republican, he acts like a Massachusetts Republican.

for example, they have had an uninterrupted string of Republican governors from 1991 through 2007.

Markey should win this but he has to actually fight and have a well thought out campaign. He will have problems if he takes anything for granted.

We've already got a tough battle to keep control of the Senate in 2014. We cannot afford to lose seats from blue states.

Wikkid Ahsome!

Markey will win.

Oh wait, that was you being disingenuous, no?

These polls are concerning, but not very. Gomez will have big problems because of his past, and Markey's a solid Liberal if not a fresh face.

and pee all over themselves...ewwww...ewww... hes automatically qualified to do something....hes a former seal and current tea party right wing nut loaf....ewwww.

...so Markey has over a month to firm things up.

Is that the right demonym? Doesn't sound right.
