Middlesex District Attorney Gerard Leone tells the Herald he’s considering getting into the Democratic race for U.S. Senate, a move that could shock the party establishment and completely shake up the special election battle. “I’m going to give it some thought,” Leone said in an interview, adding that he’s been besieged by calls from supporters urging him to get in the race — especially since former GOP Sen. Scott Brown announced yesterday he was not running. The only two announced candidates are Democratic congressmen Stephen Lynch of South Boston and Edward Markey of Malden. Markey, who has the backing of...

She represents Cher but will she represent Mass.? New spot points out the candidate for U.S. Senate from MA who has big Hollywood money on her side...so much for being one of the 99 per cent, eh, Liz? Winner of the award for Hypocrisy it's The Elitist (sadly NOT a silent movie...) MA State GOP spot

Hey Sen. Paul Kirk - screw! You don’t have to go home, but you can’t stay here, here being the U.S. Senate. It’s been 15 days now since a Republican won the special election in Massachusetts, and Kirk is still squatting in Ted Kennedy’s office. Hey Paul Kirk - how can we miss you if you won’t go away?

1. A year ago Barack Obama took the oath of office with enormous public support and unprecedented goodwill behind him. Today he presides over a party that is panic-stricken, having lost a Senate race in Massachusetts that ranks among the most consequential nonpresidential elections in American history. The president is now badly wounded, his agenda badly weakened, his signature domestic issue in critical and perhaps fatal condition. Not many presidents have had a worse opening act. 2. The result of the Massachusetts election, which is epic, should not be seen in isolation. It is the most recent occurrence in a...

Posted this because I heard someone on the radio said that a PBS report quoted someone who claimed that Canadians had come down from Montreal to campaign for Brown. I had to see if it were true. Turns out it was.

Just a few short weeks ago, we didn't even know who this guys was. Go ahead and read the thread; it's humorous now. I noticed that when this was posted, there was a grand total of FIVE articles about Scott Brown. Special thanks to the MODS, who we implored to keep this thread up, not sure that they would. It allowed us time to get our act together and organize.

As of 9:08 pm, Republican Scott Brown is winning bellweather towns of Gardner and Fitchburg. These towns have similar voter makeup to the rest of the state and were within one point of the result 2006 Senate race. Brown is also winning the majority of the towns on Cape Cod, historically a Democratic stronghold and the home of former Sen. Ted Kennedy. Many towns that Obama won easily in 2008 are also going to Brown. The North Shore town of Salisbury went 54-45 for Obama; with 100% reporting, 64-35 Brown. Western Massachusetts towns – historically a Democratic stronghold – that...

His name is Randy May. He spent his own money, left home in Mississippi on Thursday, drove 38 hours, arrived in Massachusetts on Saturday, and on Sunday afternoon was part of the Brown brigade in Boston outside the Obama-Coakley event: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=p1DbvLXLAjM&feature=player_embedded

In a press conference, Harry Reid (Cadaver-NV) said, “Now I believe myself that the Secretary of State, the Secretary of Defense, and you have to make your own mind as to what the President knows, that this election is lost, and that this campaign (with the President, Senator Kerry (Pussy-MA), SEIU members and false advertisements) is not accomplishing anything according to the enthusiasm in Worcester.” He added in later remarks, ”As long as we follow the President’s path on health reform, this election is lost, and possibly the 2010 elections themselves, but there is still a chance to change course.”...

I'm going to poke around and see if I can find out more about this. You can scroll down to see the rules (2006) for MA or any other state.

WORCESTER, Mass. - Supporters of Republican Scott Brown lined the sides of a street here outside a Democratic rally at Worcester Polytechnic Institute where former President Bill Clinton came to campaign for Martha Coakley. More than 75 boosters of the GOP candidate turned out for the counter-rally, standing the sub-freezing weather to wave Brown signs and loudly sing (to the tune of "Battle Hymn of the Republic"), "Glory, Hallelujah . . . Send Scott Brown to D.C.!" Among the Brown supporters were - believe it or not - rank-and-file members of the Service Employees International Union.

WASHINGTON (AP) - The ill winds of an angry electorate are blowing against Democrats, the warning signs clear in a closer-than-expected Massachusetts Senate race that may doom President Barack Obama's health care agenda and foreshadow the party's midterm election prospects. Anti-incumbent, antiestablishment sentiment is rampant. Independents are leaving Obama. Republicans are energized. Democrats are subdued. And none of that bodes well for the party in power. "It's going to be a hard November for Democrats," Howard Dean, the Democratic Party chairman in 2006 and 2008 elections when the party took control of the White House and Congress, told The Associated...

Exciting new hearsay from Geraghty, yet not the first report today of a poll showing Scotty B with a double-digit lead. I’d love to analyze the significance of it for you assuming it’s true, but … I can’t. I simply can’t wrap my mind around the concept of a Republican building up so much momentum that he’d win Ted Kennedy’s seat in a landslide. It’s like trying to imagine the Jets winning the Super Bowl. The human brain hasn’t evolved enough yet to process such possibilities.

In the special election for US Senate, the Kennedy shadow is so long that it extends all the way into the Republican Party. Or so it would seem from the first television ad of the race, in which Scott Brown, the GOP candidate, employs an unlikely visage to make his case to voters: President John F. Kennedy,... [text excerpted] The new 30-second spot begins with grainy footage of Kennedy delivering a 1962 speech on using tax breaks to spur the economy. Halfway through, the image morphs into Brown, a state senator from Wrentham, finishing Kennedy’s sentence. “President Kennedy actually was...

Republican U.S. Senate candidate Scott Brown is blasting Gov. Deval Patrick’s administration for calling the National Guard to check whether Brown’s enrollment takes him out of the heated race to replace the late Edward M. Kennedy.
