(5,499 posts)6. I'm sure he'll have a spot in the Biden Administration
Then who knows. I'm not sure he has the "it" factor to do much on the national scene. Maybe run for governor.

(490 posts)10. Good. What a bizarre primary challenge.
It had no good reason for being and came off as a scion thinking it was his birthright. Had he waited, hed be a near-cert to one day soon serve as a senator for Massachusetts. Instead, he'll be forever tarred by this high profile failure.

(89,239 posts)11. yup, it's very likely there will be an open seat in under 10 years and Kennedy
is only 40.
Look at many years MArkey waited to run for Senate .
