Boston.com is reporting an early salvo has been fired in what could be the Senate special election showdown.
In a radio interview Wednesday morning, U.S. Sen. Scott Brown (R-MA) jabbed at Democratic Congressman Edward Markey about his residency in Malden, according to a Boston.com report. Brown questioned if Markey still lives in Massachusetts anymore and also told WTKK-FM he often sees members of the Bay State congressional delegation on planes trips home but said "I have never seen Ed on the airplane—ever," according to the report. This salvo from Brown could be a preview of a possible showdown with Markey over the Senate seat expected to be vacated by John Kerry if he is confirmed as the next U.S. Secretary of State. Boston.com reports Brown has "hinted" he could run for the seat while Markey said he would run if Kerry's confirmation is …

The Massachusetts senator is the president's pick to replace Hillary Clinton as the country's top diplomat.
John Kerry is President Obama's pick to become the next Secretary of State, and replace Hillary Clinton as the nation's top diplomat. Many expected Kerry, chairman of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee, to be the president's pick after U.N. Ambassador Susan Rice took her name out of the running last week. Rice had been under scrutiny by Republicans in Congress for statements she made in the aftermath of the attack on the U.S. consulate in Benghazi, Libya. The scramble to replace Kerry is already on; a poll done for WBUR showed yesterday that Republican Scott Brown would lead if the special election to replace Kerry were held today.

New Jersey Governor Chris Christie, told a standing room only crowd at Ken's Steak House in Framingham, Massachusetts needs Sen. Scott Brown.
Hundreds of supporters of Sen. Scott Brown attended a rally for him Wednesday afternoon at Ken's Steak House. Headlining the rally was New Jersey Governor Chris Christie, a Republican like Brown, who endorsed Brown for re-election. Brown, an incumbent, is being challenged by Elizabeth Warren for his U.S. Senate seat. Christie told the crowd, estimated at 400, that Massachusetts is smart enough to realize it already has an independent-minded thinker, who votes with his heart for Massachusetts and doesn't always vote the party line and that "you better not let Brown go." To hear more of what Christie had to say, click on the attached video. Framingham Republican Mary Z. Connaughton opened the rally, speaking before Brown and Christie, who …

Sen. Scott Brown told NewsCenter 5 he will give the $5,000 donation to the Meningitis Foundation of America.
The owners of the Framingham-based pharmacy linked to the deadly meningitis outbreak made three donations to Sen. Scott Brown's political campaign this summer, reported WCVB News. Between June and July 2012, Barry and Lisa Cadden, who own the Framingham-based New England Compounding Center, made donations totalling $5,000, according to reports filed with the Massachusetts Office of Campaign and Political Finance. New England Compounding Center is linked to the deadly national meningitis outbreak, that has killed 12 and infected more than 130 people across 10 states. As many as 13,000 people could have received tainted steroid injections in 23 states according to national health officials. The company recalled 17,000 steroids in September …

The debate will be moderated by “Meet the Press” anchor David Gregory and will begin at 7 p.m. tonight, Oct. 1.
The second debate between U.S. Senate incumbent Scott Brown and Democratic candidate Elizabeth Warren is slated for tonight, 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 Brown …

After the last campaign, how ANYONE could even SUGGEST Scott Brown should be back in DC is AMAZING (and somewhat alarming). Didn't anyone pay attention? He lied, deflected and attacked, but never explained or even commented on his voting record, except to say that he worked with the Democrats more than any other Republican, which we all now KNOW is MULARKY. As for Rep. Markey, does he even know … more ›
