Actually, given that the Markey campaign called me at 7:30 this evening - I have no idea how they got my cell phone number, but they asked for me by name - warning that it was going to be a close election and encouraging me to get out the vote, this spread is a great surprise to me.

(thank you for posting the results!)

Tell me about it; I've been getting emails for weeks about how GOMEZ IS TOTALLY GOING TO WIN UNLESS YOU GIVE US A DOLLAR. It took me a while to realize they were using Gomez's internal polling to get a "close race"; when even your internal polls put you seven points behind, it's time to quit.

I think Elizabeth Warren's campaign gave all her collected info to Markey directly (EW was the only politician I ever shared such info with and Markey's campaign started emailing me wayyyyy ealy in the primaries).

I'm sure he collected info from a number of other sources as well, but in general I think he took an overly aggressive marketing approach that turned me off for quite some time.
