. >> the one i find interesting to watch is ed markey, a longtime member of congress, very well known massachusetts and would be a formidable democratic candidate. >> erin? >> and there's also michael capuano and steven lynch who are both democratic congressmen from massachusetts, but none of these three have quite the star power as not only ben affleck but also ted kennedy, jr., who looks to be a big name for this seat. >> speaking of massachusetts, there was a detailed post mortem of the romney campaign in today's "boston globe." romney was reluctant to run and did so at his son's tag's insistence. this story quotes tag as saying he wanted to be president less than anyone i've ever met in my life. aaron, he recently wrote about the optimism within the gop, but does the choice of a reluctant candidate symbolize an identity crisis within the republican party? >> well, i don't know that i know -- i know that tag romney is looking out for his father, but let's be real about this. mitt romney was not the least bit reluctant to run for president and was plotting his second run for the pre

we have people like senator ron wyden, congressman ed markey of massachusetts all lining up in oppositionith the dow chemical corporation. these three arguing that exports could raise the price of natural gas domestically and hurt industries like dow that use an awful lot of it. here's what the ceo said about that. he said, quote: the report, the department of energy report, offers the baf ling conclusion that the u.s. would be better off using its domestic natural gas advantage to fuel growth and jobs in other regions versus strengthening the u.s. economy ask through manufacturing and benefiting consumers with lower energy costs. that brought this reaction from the oil and gas industry. >> what's goose is good for the gander. if the chemical industry wants the free market to work so they can produce product and export it, we should apply the same standard to the natural gas and oil industry. >> reporter: so how much natural gas do we actually have? well, according to the industry, about 900 years -- 100 years' worth, so much so that in the u.s. could become energy self-sufficient within

brown runs for that senate seat, whether deval patrick, the governor of massachusetts, congressman ed markeyfrom massachusetts. there's been some other names mentioned as well, but it's going to have a political fallout as well as international fallout, but the bottom line is the president has decided to nominate john kerry as the next secretary of state. >> it is interesting, too, that the republican scott brown came out for gun control legislation, some form of gurn control legislation, which we have not heard from many sitting republicans. >> scott brown's position has evolved since the fallout a week ago of what happened in newtown, connecticut. he favored an assault weapons ban if done by states. he didn't think the federal government should get involved, but now for first time he's saying in the aftermath of the massacre in that newtown elementary school he's now saying, yes, it's time for the federal government to impose a ban on assault weapons which is a shift for scott brown and sort of an indication of where he suspects the people of massachusetts are. he's going to run for that s

markey, for his five minutes. >> thank you, mr. chairman, very much. mr. chairman, could you help us to frame this tension that exists under existing law? that is, that what we're trying to do is make new spectrum available for the wireless revolution while at the same time insuring that broadcasters are protected, that they only have to act a voluntarily, but that there's proper protection against interference. so what is the process that you have established that telescopes the time frame to insure that that issue is resolved and done so in a way that meets all the technical requirements but forces the parties who sometimes have a stake in just, you know, waiting until eternity to finally just get to the point where they accept the reality of the technology? >> two points briefly. one, on the time frame, this is why we moved so quickly to start the nprm. we've announced we intend to hold an auction in 2014, and we will drive this step by step to a conclusion. the second point on the framing, what many people don't realize is that in most major markets in
