N.E. shapes up as Democratic firewall for Senate

WASHINGTON — Democrats are counting on New England to help them pick up Republican-held Senate seats on Nov. 6 and construct a barrier against losses in Nebraska and elsewhere that could erase their majority.

The National Republican Senatorial Committee has stopped spending money in Maine, where former Governor Angus King, an independent, leads in the polls and is viewed as probable to side with Democrats if he wins.

Well, we know you folks at the Globe are doing your best to see to it. Shame

The Scott Brown/ Elizabeth Warren campaign has gone on long enough that Scott Brown’s claims of bipartisanship have been exposed as misleading. Look at his voting record to see that he is a Republican who only votes with the Democrats to look bipartisan when his vote does not make a difference. When Scott had a chance to make a difference in stopping a filibuster, Brown voted with the Republican majority 76 percent of the time.
