The DSCC has put its finger on the scale in Democratic Senate races, though perhaps not so brazenly as the DCCC has in House races. Incumbent protection, particularly when the incumbent in question is a DINO, is the order of the day.
I have been wondering where Chuck Schumer’s finger has been in the current Senate primary in Massachusetts where Joe Kennedy has challenged progressive Edward Markey. I’ve seen no sign of incumbent protection in this race. Kennedy’s challenge lacks any political justification; there’s not much breathing room between their ideological positions, except that Kennedy apparently feels the seat belongs to his family. Could it be that it’s hands off when the incumbent is a real Democrat? As they used to say at Buzzflash: Just askin’.
