Gomez wins GOP nomination in Mass. Senate primary

(CNN) - Republican businessman Gabriel Gomez has won the GOP nomination in Tuesday’s primary for the Massachusetts special Senate election, the Associate Press projects.

Gomez will go on to face the Democratic nominee, yet to be decided, in the special election to be held June 25. The victor will fill the seat vacated by John Kerry when he was confirmed secretary of state earlier this year.

Looks like Gabriel Gomez is a private equity investor - not much of a résumé. Tx4obama Apr 2013 #3
Markey has a 20 point lead and likes to campaign. Dawson Leery Apr 2013 #4

Interesting.

The GOP teabagger candidate Michael Sullivan went down, which is good.
