Republican Scott Brown is leading Democrat State Attorney-General Martha Coakley (pictured on left) in a battle for the Ted Kennedy Senate seat in Massachusetts.Democrat leaders were aghast at the thought of a Republican taking the Kennedy Senate seat. Scott Brown’s reply was, “it isn’t the Kennedy seat, it is the peoples seat.”
From a Yahoo News report:
Voter disenchantment in liberal Massachusetts with President Barack Obama's policies has turned a Senate election into a nail-biter that could imperil U.S. healthcare reform.
Democrats envisioned a smooth passing of the baton in the January 19 special election to fill the seat of the late Edward Kennedy, a political giant who died of brain cancer in August after holding the seat for 46 years.
With Republican Scott Brown holding a solid lead in the polls, the Democrat 60-seat lead could disappear and with it the $2.5 trillion healthcare bill - Obama's top legislative priority.
Scott Brown has reportedly raised money at a rate of $1 million a day this past week in his bid for U.S. Senate in Massachusetts.
