Ed Markey

Ed Markey beat Gabriel Gomez in the senate election for Massachusetts yesterday.  It's not a shocking result, considering Markey is a Democrat, but I actually expected Gomez to win because Massachusetts has surprised me before.  They elected Scott Brown, who was a Republican, and elected other people I couldn't stand like Deval Patrick.  Also, Markey is old and his views/beliefs seem outdated.  If the people of Massachusetts didn't want to vote for older candidates, like in Presidential elections, why do it for their senator?  It just doesn't make sense, but goes to show how unpredictable politics can be.  I don't know if Markey will do anything, but hopefully he does something, or else this will be another wasteful campaign.
