Republican US Sen. Scott Brown has not confirmed whether he will attend the rejuvenated Election Eve tradition.

  Democratic US Senate candidate Elizabeth Warren has confirmed she will be at the revitalized Truman Rally in West Roxbury on the eve of Election Day.  Her opponent, Republican US Senator Scott Brown has not confirmed whether he will attend the nonpartisan political rally starting at 7 p.m.  But organizers are hopeful he will confirm his participating in the nonpartisan rally. The Truman Rally was rebooted last year, after being on hiatus for several years from the Parkway political scene. From 1981 until 2006 the Truman Rally was a well-loved neighborhood tradition.  he event was considered, and now looks to be once again - a vital stop on the campaign trail for candidates due to the hundreds of supporters, spectators, and would-be …

Western Civ why don't you say who you are because I attended the meetings in regards to the Truman Rally and the question if the state wide office holders should be invited was asked and no one raised any objections to it. Clearly you've never attended a Truman Rally or you'd know that the people who attend it are respectful of all the candidates regardless of political party. Overwhelm Brown are…   more ›

Warren Wants to Debate One Last Time; Brown Doesn't

The Democratic challenger and Republican incumbent in the much-watched race for the Senate are at odds on whether the reschedule their final debate.

  Democratic Senate hopeful Elizabeth Warren wants to hold a final debate with Scott Brown after all — but it's not clear the incumbent Republican Senator will agree to it. On Monday, both camps in the down-to-the-wire election cancelled a debate that was to have been held Tuesday night. They cited safety concerns surrounding Hurricane Sandy. "It is simply not appropriate to go forward with a political debate when a disaster strikes," a Brown press aide said in a statement on Monday. "The focus for all of us before, during and after the storm needs to be on emergency response and disaster relief, not campaigns and politics." Warren's camp followed suit shortly afterward on Monday with their own statement. "Elizabeth believes the debate …

I had no problem with either of the candidates bowing out of the debate that was scheduled the day after the storm. Scott Brown though giving the reason for not rescheduling the debate by saying there have been enough debates is disingenuous. It is much more about the risk involved in taking part in a debate less than a week before the election. He has had one bad performance in the debates. I …   more ›

Warren Picks Up Globe, MetroWest Daily News Endorsements

Paper's endorse Warren with a little more than a week to go before the election.

  Elizabeth Warren picked up two key endorsements Sunday, with editorial boards at the Boston Globe and MetroWest Daily News throwing their support behind the democratic challenger to Republican Senator Scott Brown. "Warren has strong opinions and firm principles, but her support for filibuster reform and her record on regulatory reform indicate she is going to the Senate to get things done, not just strike political poses. She will be an important vote in the short-term and a vital voice in the nation’s debate for years to come," wrote the Daily News editorial board. The Globe, meanwhile, dinged Brown for what they say was dithering on major issues until the matter was settled. "As a political moderate, Brown has major clout in a …

Boston Herald Endorses Brown; Warren Also Picks Up Nods

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 …

Warren Up in Polls, Herald Endorses Brown: Who's Winning?

With Warren holding a small lead in the polls, and Brown getting a key endorsement from the Boston Herald, who do you think has the momentum coming into the final days of the election?

Democrat Elizabeth Warren is up by five points over incumbent Republican Scott Brown in the latest WBUR/MassINC poll of the Massachusetts senate race. That's a near-total reversal of the BUR poll last month, which had Brown up by four on Oct. 9. In fact, Warren has been trending upwards in most recent polling. The New York Times' FiveThirtyEight blog has Warren up by four in an average of recent polls. The blog, which uses advanced statistical modeling akin to baseball sabermetrics (think Moneyball) gives Warren an 89 percent chance of winning the election. But Brown's got some significant energy on his side as well. He's been barnstorming the state with political luminaries like Senator John McCain and today won the Boston herald's …

Brown in West Roxbury About Warren's Campaign Workers: "They can't compete."

Campaign workers at Sen. Brown's Spring Street office got a special surprise visit from the candidate himself on Monday night.

  US Sen. Scott Brown and his wife Gail Huff stopped by his campaign office on Spring Street in West Roxury on Monday night. While phone bankers finished up another round of calls, Brown spoke with campaign worker Lew Martin, who told the senator he was calling Brookline. 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…

You forgot his claim that he has "secret meetings with kings and queens." And actually, he only spent a week in Afghanistan; the rest of the seven days was spent in travel to and from. I am also bothered by that blow-up he had in 2012, when he "launched a profanity-laden tirade" in front of students at an assembly at King Phillip High School. His willingness to self-aggrandize (or to fantasize …   more ›

Warren out raised Brown by $4.5 million in the third quarter, according to fundraising totals released on Monday by each campaign.

  U.S. Senate candidate Elizabeth Warren's campaign announced Monday it has raised more than $12.1 million in the third quarter this year, out-raising incumbent Senator Scott Brown by $4.5 million. Brown's campaign had its best fundraising total to date this quarter, at $7.45 million. The Brown campaign enters the home stretch with approximately $10.2 million cash on hand.  About 80 percent of Warren's contributors were donation amounts of $50 or less, and $7 million was raised in September alone, the campaign said. “Tens of thousands of people across Massachusetts have joined this campaign because they know that Elizabeth will fight for them in the U.S. Senate,” said Michael Pratt, Finance Director.  "This strong support will help propel …

YOUR TURN: Do Brown and Warren's Visits to West Roxbury Matter to You?

US Sen. Scott Brown was in West Roxbury on Tuesday morning, and has made a habit of visiting. Democratic candidate Elizabeth Warren has also visited West Roxbury. But how much do their visits to West Roxbury matter to you?

  How much does it matter to you as a West Roxbury resident that Republican US Senator Scott Brown or his Democratic opponent Elizabeth Warren visit the neighborhood? Brown was in West Roxbury again on Tuesday morning. Warren has visited West Roxbury at least once this year. Both candidates have campaign offices on Spring Street, so they see the importance of West Roxbury. Brown has been making regular visits to West Roxbury since running for the US Senate seat vacated with Ted Kennedy's passing. Brown won in a special election in 2010. In that election in West Roxbury, Brown beat his Democratic opponent Martha Coakley, the current state Attorney General, by a fractional margin, with both candidates getting 49% of the vote. Brown obviously…

It matters more to me when they come to speak and take questions than if they come essentially to get votes. How they vote on bills is what matters and leadership -- whether they have the ability to influence other senators and the White house to support initiatives that help Mass residence. Showing up to be a celebrity is entertainment, not governance. Showing up to listen helps the Senator be …   more ›
