intention of running in the primary against ed markey. and you heard it here first, which is to say you're hearing it right now. scott brown probably wouldn't even run against ed markey. scott brown would be much happier running for governor when duval patrick leaves office next year, a race scott brown would have a much better chance of winning, and a job he would love. i mean, love, compared to the senate which according to my sources he doesn't really like. so it is settled. ed markey will be the next elected senator from massachusetts. but who, who is the governor going to appoint in the meantime? the pointed senator will have crucial work to do on the next debt ceiling crisis, on the next round of budget negotiations with republicans. all of that action will be focused in the senate finance committee, which has jurisdiction not over just the debt ceiling but over medicaid, medicare social security which republicans want to put into play. ideally the appointed senator would take john kerry's seat on the senate finance committee, and i

. >> lastly, really quick before we go, real quick, ed markey, your colleague, can he beat scott brown? >> i think so, and the issue is this, in 2010, scott brown was a very decent guy, but a member of this very right-wing party. he's got this problem in massachusetts, especially since in 2010 it was his election that really harolderalded a lot of problems for president obama. massachusetts vote ed overwhel overwhelmingly for president obama. running as a representative for the republican party in the senate to ask for a repudiation of barack obama is a problem. >> going to be fascinating. >> this is not just ed markey on the ballot. this is president obama and ed markey, and i think the people of massachusetts are unlikely to, in effect, reverse their vote of just a couple months ago. >> it's an all boston college race with scott brown and ed markey, the school you represented for over, i believe, 30 years. >> 32. >> thanks for being on the show. we appreciate it. >> thank you, luke. >>> we'll be right back here on msnbc, the place for politics. don't go anywhere. >>> i'm luke russert

i also want to endorse your view that ed markey will be the from the accident senator. frankly we worked together before that in the legislature. and i would like to think of this as some kind of a relay team. there is the interim. and i would have one difference with you, and i understand the motivations. but i think the two-step process makes sense. that is, i think it is better to have an election than an appointment to the senate. tip o'neill says it is one body that you can't get to unless you have an election. so i think the two-step process works. the rule that you can't be appointed, it can't be made legal, setting the senate qualifications and not allowing for any modification of them. but given that as i said on december 28th, i didn't really want that job. when people asked me do you want the senate appointment, i said i just retired. it is kind of like being told a week before graduation you have to go to summer school. but i care deeply about social security and medicare. they are the two most successful anti-poverty legislations in america. and to deny the

congressman markey is demanding answers for the circumstances, which he describes as profoundly troubling. in laying out the plans for this ultimately disastrous operation, the deadline expired today. shell, we have learned, asked for an extension because they have been focusing on recovery issues. just the engineering aspects of this story, the failure upon failure upon failure that led to beach i beaching of the giant rig in unspoiled alaska wilderness, just the engineering aspects of the story started off really weird. but now the political aspects, the corporate aspects, are getting very weird. we have contacted shell on these allegations, so far we have not heard back but will keep you posted. and we'll keep bugging them. now it is time for "the last word" with lawrence o'donnell. have a good evening. >>> oh, boy, pressure is on. i promised you last night i would announce tonight whether i would pursue the massachusetts senate seat that will be vacated by john kerry when he becomes secretary of state. and because i do everything at the last minute, i still have not made up my mind. a

if he does run against ed markey, there does have to be a primary. the primary will take place on april 30th. interesting question, right? would a primary for that seat help the democrats' chances of sending another democrat to serve alongside elizabeth warren in the senate, or would it hurt the chances? and who would have a better chance at winning, ed markey or stephen lynch? on the republican sid of things, there is still no word as to whether or not this guy on the right here intends to run again after elizabeth warren beat him by eight points back in november. still no word from scott brown other than -- which scott brown tweeted late at night on scott brown, 2010 in that special election is the only time since ed brook in 1972 that massachusetts has elected a republican to the senate. and not since 1994 in the gingrich landslide when two slipped in have massachusetts elected a republican to federal office of any kind. >> and there is a reason why. and the state is getting more blue, not less blue over time. >> right. >> let me ask you about a b

ed markey looks like the person who will emerge as the democratic kabd candidate. it's always difficult for a member of congress because they are only known in their neck of the woods so to speak to gain statewide influence. it's difference also than a presidential election when scott brown had a difficult time beating elizabeth warren because about 200,000 barack obama voters would have had had to vote for scott brown. most people thought scott brown would hold out and run for governor but i think seeing these poll numbers has pushed him back into wanting to run for his old job. >> we want to remind everybody, john kerry, sailing to confirmation yesterday, 94-3, with only senators ted cruz and john cornyn against him. the official resignation coming on friday. this is really interesting now, elizabeth warren just sworn in this month becomes the senior senator for massachusetts. has her profile been upped more than it already was? because that was an election we watched nationally. >> clearly her profile has been pretty strong especially with progressives coming in

ed markey is running nomnation in liberal state. picking up green group nominations. that same day the league of conservation voters. i think more about that, than anything else. for him to be shocked people respond to tax policy is itself shocking. melissa: if you tax something, it is meant to discourage whatever behavior that is. shell responded and said while we're aware of the tax environment wherever we operate the driver for our operational decisions is going to be governed by safety. the tax policy in question i would add, by the way is that they were think of drilling on the outer continental shelf, there you would pay regular federal corporate income tax of 35%. otherwise, they were paying the alaska production tax which can be as high as 75%. i say if they were moving it for tax reasons they should just own it and get out in front of it. what is wrong with that? so you're moving it to go drill in a spot or keep it in a spot that is going to provide a better tax environment for you. this is company. isn't that what they're supposed to do? >> it is but also, r

and former senator scott brown is already slamming congressman ed markey. technically they aren't even rivals yet, though they will probably run against each other for senate in massachusetts. on a radio show brown asked if markey even lived in massachusetts anymore, claiming he's never seen him on the plane leaving washington. markey's state residence is in his childhood home in massachusetts but his wife is a doctor in suburban washington, d.c. and mile-per-hour mus read today is really a must see. the white house photographer, pete souza, released his year in photos, including some really great shots of the president on his travels through the year. this is one where he dared someone to eat a piece of his pie and the kid does it. and here he's taking a dip in the ocean to celebrate new years in hawaii. you can find this at facebook/jansingco. careful of sharks! >>> 31 past the hour. welcome back. shortly after the new congress swears in at noon, republicans will decide whether a bruised and battered john boehner should get another two years as speaker. w

i think markey is a pretty formidable candidate. and, in some ways, he's a much stronger candidate than elizabeth warren was. she's a terrific mind and a terrific senator. massachusetts is not a very hospitable place for female candidates. she is sort of portrayed as a school elitist and she still won. so i think that it would be form midble. the problem for brown is if he runs and luszs, he's done for politics. so he's got to decide. if he ran against markey who we asumt will get the nomination and lost, then i don't see how he gets governor. >> i'm going to have to leave it there. thank you both for your time thef ening. >> thank you. pleasure to be here. >> colin powell versus bill o'reilly. that's next. i was in the ambulance and i was told to call my next of kin. at 33 years old, i was having a heart attack. now i'm on a bayer aspirin regimen.
