Two recent polls indicate that Massachusetts Rep. Ed Markey holds a solid two-digit lead over his Rethuglican opponent, Gabriel "Just Go" Gomez to fill the Senate seat vacated by John Kerry. A UMass-Lowell / Boston Herald poll showed Markey with a 20 point lead, 56 - 36, and an Emerson College poll showed Markey with a 10 point advantage, 51 - 41. The special election will be held this coming Tuesday, June 25.
Of course, Dems are notorious for sitting out off-year and special elections. We dearly hope this isn't one of those years, because the only poll that counts is the one that voters go to on election day.
