Markey urges any challengers to sign ‘people’s pledge’

US Representative Edward J. Markey, a candidate for US Senate, today urged other candidates who join the race to sign the groundbreaking pact that prevented political action committees from running attack ads in last year’s Senate race between Scott Brown and Elizabeth Warren.

“I am challenging all of the candidates – Democrats and Republicans – in this special election for the United States Senate to join me in committing to the people’s pledge upon entering this race,” Markey said in a statement. “If all the candidates agree, we can give the voters the kind of debate they deserve. This election should be a forum for the voices of everyday voters, not attacks from Karl Rove and other outside special interests.”

Sounds more like Dave Carney, and all the other "strategists" see this as pretty much the only payday in 2013. These guys have mortgages too!
