The Boston Herald endorsed Senator Scott Brown on Wednesday; his Democratic challenger Elizabeth Warren has recently had several endorsements as well.
The Boston Herald endorsed Senator Scott Brown on Wednesday, praising what the newspaper called his "fiscal sanity and bipartisanship." Brown would be more likely than his Democratic foe, the Herald editorial board argued, to stay out of lockstep with their respective party leadership. "Democrats have made much of the fact that, should he win election to a full term, Brown would represent a vote in favor of the current GOP leadership. But Brown at least has a track record of breaking with that same GOP leadership and representing a more moderate voice," wrote the Herald editorial board. "We’re less certain that Elizabeth Warren would challenge Harry Reid & Co. on important issues." Endorsement season is in full swing, as the election looms…

Supporters came out for the Republican candidates during a Saturday morning rally.
Republican Senators John McCain (Arizona), Scott Brown (Massachusetts) and congressional candidate Richard Tisei (R) all took the stage before an enthusiastic audience in Melrose Saturday morning. Both Brown and McCain touted the Massachusetts senator's bipartisan reputation, and reminding voters a victory in Massachusetts could swing control of the Senate back to the GOP. "I don't want you to go out on Nov. 6 and think, 'oh, I could've made a 100 more calls,' 'oh, I could've hung up a few more signs,'" Brown said.

In a race that continues to prove it will remain tight until election day, Democratic challenger Elizabeth Warren is up by a couple of points on Senator Scott Brown in the U.S. Senate race in Massachusetts, according to the two most recently released polls. A WBUR/Mass Inc. poll from Sept. 26-28 determined Warren is leading Brown overall by two percentage points, 46 percent to 44 percent. The same poll taken two weeks ago showed Warren up by 5 percent.

The debate will be moderated by “Meet the Press” anchor David Gregory and will begin at 7 p.m. on Monday, Oct. 1.
The second debate between U.S. Senate incumbent Scott Brown and Democratic candidate Elizabeth Warren is slated for Monday night, Oct. 1, and the meetup promises to be a showdown. A Week of Back and Forth Since the first debate between the two candidates a week ago, Brown's campaign has been pressing Warren on her claim to Native American ancestry. “Professor Warren claimed she was a Native American, a person of color — and as you can see, she is not,” Brown said at the debate, inferring Warren got special treatment from her employers because of her heritage. ”I didn’t get an advantage because of my background,” Warren said. However, Scott's campaign may have pressed the issue too far. A video surfaced this week that reportedly shows …

"People have sent me down here -- and that’s to vote,” Brown said in an interview with the Boston Globe.
Updated at 3:55 p.m.: Senator Scott Brown is on his way from Washington to WBZ for the debate, according to a tweet by @PeterWBZ. Initial Report Incumbent Senator Scott Brown may not make it to tonight's debate in Boston versus challenger Elizabeth Warren due to a scheduling conflict in Washington, according to a Boston Globe report. Brown told the Globe that if there are senate votes scheduled through the rest of the afternooon, he would have to miss the debate. "Voting is 'the one thing that I can’t delegate to the staff,' he told the Globe. 'I’ve only missed one vote.' Brown told the Globe he would attempt to make a 4:30 p.m. plane so he could make it to WBZ studios by 7 p.m. for the flight. But he said his first priority is to vote. “…
With three polls showing Democrat Elizabeth Warren in the lead but the latest showing Republican Sen. Scott Brown ahead, it's safe to say the U.S. Senate race in Massachusetts is a close one.
The U.S. Senate race is very close, according to recent polling data. Three polls show that Democratic candidate Elizabeth Warren is in the lead among likely voters in November, but the latest poll, conducted this week, predicts a Brown victory by several points. Neither candidate has established a large enough lead so far as to pull ahead of the polls' margins of error, meaning the highly competitive Massachusetts race will likely stay close until election day in November. The latest poll is by the University of Massachusetts Lowell/Boston Herald, which was released on Wednesday night. Out of 524 voters surveyed from Sept. 13 to 17, 49 percent said they would vote for Brown versus 45 percent who said they would support Warren. The poll'…

U.S. Senator Scott Brown spoke to local business owners at the Wakefield Chamber of Commerce meeting in Stoneham on Friday about the best way to get the economy - and the job market - back on track.
If business in America is a party, the U.S. government is a wet blanket. Or so said U.S. Senator Scott Brown (R-Mass.) to members of the Wakefield Chamber of Commerce on Friday in Stoneham. Sen. Brown said that too much regulation, too many taxes, and too much government is standing in the way of the country's economic recovery, and the only answer to the country's economic woes is to stimulate the private sector to start putting people back to work. "The most surprising thing I found when I got to Washington was how little amount of time they spend on creating jobs, and creating an environment to create jobs," said Sen. Brown. "They believe spending more money and growing the size of government is the answer. I believe that you should …
