1. That's wicked classy. nt

[CentralMass]

3. Pisser.

[jorgevlorgan]

4. What was that for?

[CentralMass]

10. It is a new England colloquialism meaning great, or awesome.

pisser
adjective
A good time, cool. New England slang.
That party last night was pisser!
We had a pisser time at the ball game!

Pronounced more like pissa or pissah in places like Dorchester MA.

[jorgevlorgan]

12. Oh.

Pissah!! did I use it right?

[CentralMass]

14. Yes :-)

[Fla Dem]

24. And if it's really great or really awesome then it's

Wicked Pissah!

[Guy Whitey Corngood]

5. I believe you might've misspelled "pissah"..... :-P nt

[CentralMass]

7. Thank you. :-)

[sheshe2]

2. That is my senator and I'm voting for him again!

[LisaL]

6. When is the primary?

[sheshe2]

8. Sept 1.

Kennedy was actually my Congressman. I voted for him as well. However he gave up that seat and now 8 people are vying for it.

I am hoping Markey wins, he has been a good Senator and Warren stumped hard for Markey the first time around. Warren and AOC have both endorsed him.

[LisaL]

11. I like Markey too.

[smirkymonkey]

28. Same here, sheshe!

I'm still pissed at Joe for even challenging him. Like he couldn't wait and run for Gov or for Markey or Warren to move on?

[sheshe2]

35. Me as well.

Kennedy was my rep who I voted for and has left our blue district vulnerable.

I have researched the new candidates...a few terrify me.

[Demsrule86]

9. Kennedy is a House Member. I like both.

[Justice]

13. Pelosi doesn't support man she worked w/ 4 decades

Wow. That speaks volumes.

I’m with Kennedy!

Markey has been around a loooong time but has not distinguished himself.

[sheshe2]

17. Yes he has distinguished himself.

I will be voting for him again. He has also been endorsed by both Warren and AOC. Warren stumped hard for him on his first run. That is where I met her for the first time and had a selfie taken with her as well.

PS...I also voted for Kennedy to represent me in Congress.

[Cha]

31. I like Sen Markey's statement.. he doesn't Diss Nancy.

[NNadir]

15. Still, I hope Kennedy wins.

It's unusual for me to support a Kennedy, since I regard JFK as the second worst Democratic President of the 20th century after Woodrow Wilson, and I very much abhor JFK father's (Joe Sr.) role in history.

This said, although he is nowhere near as odious as a Republican, Markey's role on energy and the environment is an anathema to me; he is incapable of doing what we must do to address climate change: Think anew.

The young Kennedy, I hope, will be a better Senator.

16. Markey-strong ethics, self discipline, service. nt

[DDySiegs]

18. In My Opinion Kennedy Feels Self Entitled to this Senate Seat

If Kennedy has shown any initiative in Massachusetts’ 4th congressional district in the 4 terms since he succeeded Barney Frank, I (a resident of that district) am unaware of it. Indeed if he had done anything noteworthy, wouldn’t it have shown up in his his campaign tv spots?

In my view Kennedy feels - because one of his great uncles was the President of the U S over a half century ago, another great uncle was a notable and long term Massachusetts Senator, and his grand father was the US Attorney General and a New York senator - that he is “entitled” to the senate seat. (My guess is he views this senate seat as mere stepping stone to the White House.)

I am quite disappointed in Speaker Pelosi’s announcement

BTW My wife and I have already voted in this primary - for Markey

[George II]

20. You don't see anything like that from any young representatives. I hope Ed wins in a walk.

[IronLionZion]

21. Massachusetts is lucky to have such excellent representation

what did he do to Pelosi to cause her to endorse a younger wealthier Kennedy?

[Cetacea]

22. I'll always be grateful for his insisting on a live feed of the BP Oil disaster

Having a live feed on the networks and cable of the oil gushing into the gulf 24/7 was brilliant and highly effective.

[nycbos]

23. I have worked on campaigns in MA.

I have friends on both sides of this race.


But when DJ Henry a black college student in NY wads shot by a police officer according to his father Markey was the only one who won't help.

25. This race is a win/win

Either Markey or Joe Kennedy will be solid progressives. I'm pulling for Kennedy because I think it would be good for the party to have the charismatic grandson of Bobby Kennedy as one of its leading voices. But, Markey is good too and really doesn't deserve to be voted out.

Markey's campaign has done a good job of closing the gap in the polls and apparently taking the lead. They were smart to hold their fire and then run a lot of ads late.

[Blue_true]

26. If she hasn't already, Senator Warren needs to endorse someone on the race.

My guess is that would be Senator Markey.

[Cha]

30. Sen Warren has already endorsed Sen Markey for re-election.

[Blue_true]

32. Thanks. nt

[sheshe2]

34. Warren endorsed and stumped long and hard on his first run.

That is the first time I met her in person. She was going to all his campaign headquarters right before election day.

I got a selfie with her!

Love both my Senators and my vote is for Markey.

[ehrnst]

27. Those around him could take a lesson....

[Cha]

29. Wow.. Markey really Does have CLASS! i knew this before but

this is the Ultimate FORM!

Mahalo, Nd.. this makes me feel better about the whole thing.

He doesn't start dragging on Nancy!

[JI7]

33. And this is why Ed Markey will win against the entitled Kennedy
