Brown-Warren Senate vote puts election theory to test

When the rallies have ended, when the tour buses have been idled, when the TV airwaves are finally free of campaign commercials come Tuesday night, Scott Brown and Elizabeth Warren will test a political theory.

Will a Democratic candidate get a boost into office from the higher voter turnout that historically occurs in Massachusetts in a presidential year?

Comments

Yet ANOTHER Boston Globe Opinion disguised as a "News" article. When the Globe mentions "test a political theory", the TRANSLATION is the same as in 2010. It can't be the "People's Seat" as Scott Brown says. It's Ted Kennedy's seat. It's the Boston Globe's seat. A Republican is simply not allowed to win Ted Kennedy's seat. Never mind that the Democratic candidate's promises are simply not believable and are not worth the paper they are printed on. She is a perfect example of someone who fully intends to DIVIDE THE NATION, as noted in Globe's other article "Presidential victor must face a more divided nation".
