Sharon and I voted today in the primary for the office of U.S. Senator from Massachusetts.

I added an addendum to my February post Ed Markey – Stephen Lynch Comparison.

I notice a lot of people are reading this blog post in the last two days. What has become increasingly apparent is that Ed Markey is the only truly progressive candidate in this race in either party. For instance, all the other candidates seem to be in favor of repealing Obamacare after we fought so hard to get a barely acceptable plan in place. I hear that Stephen Lynch has even abandoned the pretense that he voted against it because it was not good enough. I remember how the election of Scott Brown to the Senate was the final nail in the coffin of getting a good bill passed. If Lynch thinks we can repeal what is in place and get something better, I have to wonder what he is smoking.

After we worked so hard to get Elizabeth Warren elected and Scott Brown ousted, the last thing we need to do is repeat the original mistake by putting anybody else in the Senate but Ed Markey.

Even if you do not agree with me, the stakes are too high to not go out and vote.
