Even putting aside her implication in the mishandling of Swartz' case (which I wouldn't personally, but for many voters will not be a deciding factor), she is a poor candidate relative to Rep. Markey (for whom I had the pleasure of interning w on the Hill a few summers back). We need less lawyers in the Senate and more talented policy experts. More specifically, Rep Markey has been leading the way on energy & environmental issues for some time in the House and his presence in the Senate would come at an auspicious time, with the probability of sort of national climate legislation peaking in the next two years or so.
