3. Tough to beat Markey

He’s 79, feels like that is his weakest issue.

Remember Kennedy ran against him last time and lost badly. Markey ran to the left. Kennedy stumbled, came off angry.

I don’t think Moulton can beat him.

I am not a fan of Markey - showboating incident with me early in my career.
