Speaker 1: There is an ancient liberal political pundit that there's some
Speaker 1: of you may not have heard of. His name is
Speaker 1: Al Hunt. He's about a hundred years old, and he
Speaker 1: has weighed in on the Senate race in Massachusetts. That's
Speaker 1: where Democrat Congressman Joe Kennedy the eighteenth is going after
Speaker 1: the Senate. See the first term Democrats Senator Ed Markey,
Speaker 1: who's running for re election. Now, if you remember Al
Speaker 1: hunted all, you won't be surprised to hear that these
Speaker 1: pro Kennedy. He claims that history is on young Joe
Speaker 1: Kennedy's side. Hunt explains, back in nineteen sixty two, Ted
Speaker 1: Kennedy defeated then Attorney General Edward McCormick to take his
Speaker 1: place in the Senate, and that's the template for this
Speaker 1: race nineteen sixty two. Hunt says that even though Ed
Speaker 1: Markey may have more political endorsements, Joe Kennedy has the
Speaker 1: one thing that counts, and that's political jeens He's a
Speaker 1: Kennedy like John, Robert and Teddy. That means women are
Speaker 1: endangered and that, according to Al Hunt, makes all a difference.
Speaker 1: Well maybe Al Hunt's right, maybe, but this isn't nineteen
Speaker 1: sixty two. There are generations of voters who don't remember
Speaker 1: that John F. Kennedy Camelot Years or Ted Kennedy escape
Speaker 1: from the pond chap Aquittic, leaving Mary Jocopecni to drown.
Speaker 1: Even among those who do remember, the Kennedy mystique has faded.
Speaker 1: Kennedy family history has little pool with the Lennidles. For example,
Speaker 1: it doesn't matter, though it's Massachusetts, whether young Joe Kennedy
Speaker 1: the eighteenth beats at market or not. Massachusetts still going
Speaker 1: to end up with a died in the Wold Liberal.
Speaker 1: Only the name will change
