Brown asked, "How's it in Brookline?" After a so-so response from Martin, Brown said he'd like to get 40 to 42 percent of the vote in Brookline, a very Democratic-leaning city.

As Brown's wife Gail Huff greeted campaign workers, Brown joked with one worker, "How come you're not on the phone?!"

After all the calls ended, Brown and Huff thanked his supporters. He told them they started off at Lowell at 5 a.m., then they split and he headed to Billerica.

"The energy level... it seems more intense on our side.." He added the Boston campaign office is packed, and he said he knows campaign work is often thankless, but that "it really matters, it really matters."

He said with 15 days left to go in his election race versus Democratic candidate Elizabeth Warren, he's calling on his campaign offices to be open 12 hours a day - adding about his opponent and his campaign workers, "They can't compete."

Scott Brown is no stranger to West Roxbury, why on Saturday.
