Scotty is waiting for David Koch to give him the green light in exchange for not repealing the oil subsidies.The big question , though, is, will Scotty be able to con the Tea party Guys again , convince them to go along for the ride, then ignore them again like he did the last 2 years . We'll see. Bottom line , though Ed Markey, with far more experience, debating skills, sensible approach to the issues , pro-union, pro-women, champion of Social Security, Medicare, college grants , middle class job growth and tax reform from the middle out not the top down, women's rights, immigration reform, will eat Scotty up and spit him out. The same coalition that resulted in US Senate Liz Warren's outstanding 6 point victory.
