Although Malone was youthful at age 33, he seized the moment and ran in his first statewide election.
As was widely anticipated by local papers who labeled his campaign a "suicide mission," Malone was soundly defeated, pulling in only 34 percent of the vote.
Not only did Malone receive accolades for refusing to attack the very vulnerable Kennedy, but he established the roots of a statewide network which many believe allowed him to win the treasurer's race two years later.
Claiming that Malone was mounting a "campaign of personality," Galvin attempted to capitalize on the newcomer's lack of leadership experience.
But as the only veteran candidate of a statewide election, Malone and his growing network won the race, claiming 57 percent of the vote.
