Age of Accountability The Massachusetts Democratic primary has taken on a particularly interesting dynamic this year, with age emerging as a key factor in the contests. Sen. Ed Markey, 80, faces a challenge from Rep.
Seth Moulton, 47, in a primary that's more about generational differences than party divisions.
Markey's long tenure and progressive record are significant strengths for some voters, but Moulton is banking on the notion that age has become an insurmountable liability for his opponent.
