broadly, what do you find the most interesting thing about this race? looking at history here, how does this fit in? massachusetts, yes, deeply blue state, 13% of the registered population is republican, but one of the consequences of sort of one party rule is every once or twice every decade, i d say, the electorate of massachusetts gets riled up, gets cranky about one party rule and takes it out on a democratic candidate and that s sort of how scott brown got in over martha cokely, how mitt romney ran against the gang of three, the insiders on beacon hill and beat shannon o brien in 2002. but the stat that jumps out at me, i believe ed markey, who s been in the house for 1976, 36-year veteran of the house, i think that would be the longest tenure ever in the house before moving on to the senate. kadyrbayev kadyrbayev dias azamat as mat azamat tazhayakov phillipos robel robel.
