The Republican Convention's keynote speaker came up to Massachusetts to support Scott Brown's re-election campaign.
The crowd of supporters at Watertown's Aegean Restaurant Wednesday greeted New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie with almost as much enthusiasm as the man they were there to see - Republican Sen. Scott Brown. The man who gave the keynote speech at the Republican National Convention was in town to support a man who he said is not just Republican but someone willing to work with people on all sides. "I'm not up here just because Scott's a Republican, I’m up here more because he is a problem solver," Christie said. "That's what we need in American government today, someone who can solve problems, who knows how to bring people together, who knows how to make a difference in this country. We can no longer hold on to past partisan ties. We’ve got to …

Jeffrey Krasner writes that he does not like Scott Brown's campaign tactics and Pia Owens had Warren as a professor and supports her because she "cares for the middle class."
To the editor: One version of “the big lie” in politics is for a candidate to take the very worst thing they are guilty of, and accuse their opponent of the same behavior. That is what Scott Brown did Thursday (Oct. 17) when he claimed that Elizabeth Warren had paid actors to appear in campaign ads praising her for her work on behalf of asbestos-poisoning victims. That tactic backfired terribly for Brown. First, children of asbestos victims came forward to call him on that lie. Then, attention focused on the story in the Boston Herald (Oct. 17) exposing Brown’s actual sleazy tactic: paying homeless men and others $8 an hour to wear T-shirts supporting Brown. Sure, Scott Brown apologized for his comment about the children of asbestos …

The SNL alum turned U.S. Senator riled up a highly partisan crowd Friday, Oct. 18 in Lexington, where he and local politicians hit on economic and environmental concerns in support of Elizabeth Warren.
Politics are no laughing matter, but with little more than two weeks remaining before the Nov. 6 elections, Massachusetts Democrats looked for a shot in the arm from the so-called “clown” of the Democratic Party, Al Franken, the former SNL cast member turned US Senator from Minnesota. Franken was in Massachusetts Oct. 19 to support Elizabeth Warren, the U.S. Senate candidate looking to unseat the Scott Brown, the Republican incumbent, in a tight race many politicos expect will have ramifications far beyond the Commonwealth’s borders. And the stumping stopped here in Lexington Friday afternoon, as Franken and U.S. Rep Ed Markey joined a few more familiar faces to address an overflowing Depot building. There were jokes aplenty, for sure, …

Sen. Scott Brown and challenger Elizabeth Warren faced off in Lowell for round two of their debates.
With polls showing a neck-and-neck race for Massachusetts' U.S. Senate seat, Republican Sen. Scott Brown and Democratic challenger Elizabeth Warren came with claws sharpened to their second debate Monday night at the Tsongas Arena in Lowell. The debate, moderated by NBC's David Gregory, lasted about an hour. Even with its scattered punches and zings, the debate may not be a game changer. It was generally predictable and lacking much about specific national issues, and Gregory spent most of the time asking about character attacks. Gregory started the debate with the glaring question about Warren's heritage. Warren claims to have Native American ancestry, but proof of that ancestry has not been presented. This has created a firestorm for the…

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 a spate of recent polls. 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…
