The two nominees – Democrat Edward Markey of Malden and Republican Gabriel Gomez of Cohasset – are competing to become the new senator to complete Kerry’s term. It has been a fast-moving campaign season, and the last of three debates took place this week. Despite an apparent commanding lead in the polls for the Democrat, the results of the election should be viewed as a toss-up because for most of the state, the Senate vote is the only item on the ballot, and special elections are always unpredictable. Ed Markey has had a distinguished career in politics. He has been a trailblazer over his career, which began with two terms in the Massachusetts House.
