Massachusetts: Another poll shows Gabriel Gomez behind in his Senate race against Rep. Ed Markey, this time 49-37 from Harper Polling (Of course, that is not the message the Markey campaign is messaging to donors).

Perry’s words were measured compared with those of state Attorney General Greg Abbott.

MA-Sen: National Republicans have largely stayed out of this race, even as National Dems have engaged heavily. Sort of like last cycle’s OR-1 special, I’m inclined to mark that as a win, for this race being a cash sink for National Dems.
