How Markey took down a Kennedy
By Julia Manchester - 09/01/20 10:49 PM EDT

Sen. Ed Markey (D) on Tuesday successfully fended off a challenge from Rep. Joe Kennedy III (D) in the Massachusetts Senate primary after facing what was initially seen as an uphill climb against a rising Democratic star and member of the most famous political family in the U.S.

Those close to Markey attribute his success to robust progressive support at the grassroots level as well as a slow and steady campaign strategy.

“Start with the better candidate, deliver a positive message and then organize like hell,” Markey’s campaign manager John Walsh told The Hill in an interview last week.

Markey didn't take down a Kennedy.  He's the incumbent.  It is Kennedy who failed to take down Markey.

If a political party does not have its foundation in the determination to advance a cause that is right and that is moral, then it is not a political party; it is merely a conspiracy to seize power.

Well, chalk me up as eatin' my hat on this one.
I thought for sure young Master Kennedy would knock Markey out.
But Mr. Markey beat him by 10 points -- 55 to 45, roughly...

The luster of the Kennedy name is well tarnished, and people are getting smart about the whole clan.
