Senate Dems to Kennedys: Pound sand

It’s been ten years since the last member of the Kennedy dynasty had a seat in the Senate. According to The Hill, upper-chamber Democrats can wait another decade at least for the dynastic restoration as well. An inexplicable challenge to veteran Ed Markey by Rep. Joe Kennedy III has resulted in a near-complete closing of the ranks in support of the incumbent:
The Kennedy name has captivated Democrats going back 60 years, when John F. Kennedy ushered in the era of Camelot by winning the 1960 presidential election.
But it seems that magic is starting to wear off 10 years after the last Kennedy to hold a Senate seat, Sen. Ted Kennedy (D-Mass.), died while in office.
Senate Democrats, including those who may have been inspired by JFK when they launched their political careers, are standing by Markey, who they consider a loyal party soldier, even if he sometimes steals the spotlight or finds a way to horn in on their pet issues.
