| The bruising Massachusetts Senate battle between Republican Scott Brown and Democrat Elizabeth Warren is deadlocked just hours before Election Day, with both the candidates and the voters suffering from a barrage of attack ads, a new UMass Lowell/Boston Herald poll reveals. The poll shows Brown holding a 49-48 percent advantage over Warren among likely voters, dispelling earlier polls and Democratic claims of a small Warren lead. The one-point lead is well within the poll’s 4.1 percent margin of error.

Thought this race was over when Rasmussen had Pocohontas up over 50%, but it might not be yet.

I don't know why but I keep feeling this senate race will be a bellwether for the rest of the election. If people find Warren suitable to win,then they'll find Obama acceptable to win.This is Mass.but there's a lot of independents there that could decide the race.Brown and Romney really aren't that much different politically.I'm not sold on the bipartisanship label being a winner.Obama's faking it when we all know if he wins he;ll be an even more arrogant leftist.

Wow. I thought Warren had been in a five point lead position. Hmmmm. Maybe the media and polls are even more corrupt than I thought. If Brown wins I will find this a sign that even Mass. is not as blind as I thought. Hoping the SWM...stupid white men...Akin and Mourdock are elected in spite of themselves. Hoping the Wrestling Lady in Conn can pull it out. And, Hoping the the Marine can win in Ohio..Mandell. And, while I am hoping...would love for Florida to vote for Connie Mack. Mississippi will hold for Repubs, as will the rest of the South. Glad now I was so wrong about Romney's ability to inspire the voters. His pick of Ryan sure did help him with conseratives.

I would hope that Mass residents finally get a clue. The Dimocrap party they vote for is NOT their parents party, it is the Communist party warmed over with more corruption and greed, as if that were possible the Dims have managed it!

An awful lot of blue collar mass workers know she's a liberal elite and a phony - thanks in large part to Howie Carr and the Boston Herald...it will be very close but Brown can pull this off

In addition to Brown, Massachusetts has FOUR Republicans running for congress this year: Richard Tisei, Chris Sheldon, Jon Golnik, and Sean Bielat.
Tisei will probably win. (Yippee.) Golnik and Sheldon...I don't know. Bielat, sadly, has no chance against Joe Kennedy. (Kennedy's money came mostly from out-of-state; Bielat's came from instate.)
Anyway, send all four your best wishes for victory.

The vice provost of California State University, Northridge, retires today. Ordinarily that would be unworthy of a national newspaper´s notice, but Cynthia Rawitch was a formative figure in your humble columnist´s professional and intellectual development. (snip) Her time as publisher was busy and marked with a lawsuit regarding free speech. Former student James Taranto, now editor of OpinionJournal.com and a member of The Wall Street Journal editorial board, sued for being suspended after he printed a cartoon on the paper´s opinion page.

DENVER (AP) — Colorado Gov. John Hickenlooper indefinitely delayed the execution of convicted killer Nathan Dunlap on Wednesday and said he was unlikely to allow it as long as he is governor. (snip) On the night of Dec. 14, 1993, he hid in a bathroom until the restaurant closed, then shot and killed Crowell; Ben Grant, 17; Colleen O´Connor, 17; and Margaret Kohlberg, a 50-year-old mother who was on her first day on the job. Each was shot in the head. A co-worker Bobby Stephens, then 20, was also shot in the head, but he survived and testified against Dunlap.

VIRGINIA WATER, England- Sergio Garcia apologized to Tiger Woods for saying he would have ´´fried chicken´´ at dinner with his rival, a comment that Woods described as hurtful and inappropriate. ´´I want to send an unreserved apology. I did not want to offend anyone,´´ Garcia said Wednesday. ´´My answer was totally stupid and out of place.´´ Garcia was at a European Tour awards dinner Tuesday night when he was jokingly asked if he would have Woods over for dinner during the U.S. Open. The two players had been verbally sparring since The Players Championship nearly two weeks ago.

The Internal Revenue Service’s targeting of conservative groups is outrageous. Those who did this should be fired immediately. That’s obvious. It continues a slovenly week for Barack Obama. The President has been very proud of the absence of scandal in his administration, and rightly so. The inability of his opponents to find any significant corruption in the historic $800 billion stimulus package was a real achievement, given the speed of the payout. None of his top aides have been caught up in taking bribes while in office

Former Gov. Mark Sanford completed the trail to political redemption tonight with a win over Democrat Elizabeth Colbert Busch to reclaim his old seat in Congress. With 71 percent of the returns in, Sanford led Colbert Busch 54 percent to 46 percent, according to Politico.com. Sanford could be sworn in as soon as next week to the 1st District seat he held for three terms. It’s a remarkable comeback for a man many pundits had written off after his highly publicized affair with an Argentinian mistress made him the source of national ridicule in 2009. Democrats jumped at the chance to pick up

Henry Gribbohm says he lost his life savings, $2,600, on a carnival game and all he has to show for it is a stuffed banana with dreadlocks. “You’re expecting the kids to win a few things, let the kids have a good time,” said Gribbohm. “It just didn’t turn out that way.” Gribbohm says he attended a Manchester carnival run by New Hampshire-based Fiesta Shows and wanted to win an Xbox Kinect at a game called Tubs of Fun where contestants toss balls into a tub.

Chris Broussard usually offers expertise on fast breaks and zone defense, but on Monday he drove right into America´s culture wars by calling homosexuality "an open rebellion to God" and implying that gay people can´t be Christians. Speaking on ESPN´s "Outside the Lines," the basketball analyst and former New York Times writer was discussing NBA player Jason Collins, who in a landmark move just became the first active player in one of the major pro sports to come out as gay. Collins revealed his sexual orientation in a first-person Sports Illustrated story.

Conservative radio host Mark Levin is very skeptical of the idea that President Obama had absolutely no idea about the IRS tea party targeting before the story broke in the news mere weeks ago. Levin declared adamantly that it is a “flat-out, bald-faced lie” that Obama didn’t know beforehand, citing prior reports by a few conservative news outlets picking up on the news well before the 2012 presidential election. Levin said, “I don’t believe for two seconds that Obama wasn’t aware of this.”

President Obama on Thursday nominated Victoria Nuland, a State Department official involved in the editing of the administration´s talking points on Benghazi, to be the next assistant secretary of state for European and Eurasian affairs. Nuland, a career foreign service officer who was until recently State´s top spokesperson, had long been expected to be nominated the post to replace Philip Gordon, who Obama picked to serve as Middle East coordinator for the National Security Council. Nuland´s nomination -- which requires Senate confirmation -- could come under scrutiny from Republicans who see her as playing a central role in shaping

Anthony Weiner’s New York mayoral candidacy was only made more improbable today after he revealed that he visited a Houston psychiatric facility following his resignation from Congress in 2011. Haunted by scandal surrounding his sexually explicit online communications with women, the Democratic former congressman sought treatment for his compulsive behavior from mental health professionals at the Gabbard Center. According to its website, the facility provides “3-day outpatient psychiatric evaluation,” particularly to “professionals who are in personal or professional crises.” While Weiner did not disclose

On Wednesday, Drummer Lee Rigby of the Royal Regiment of Fusiliers, a man who had served Queen and country honorably in the hell of Helmand Province in Afghanistan, emerged from his barracks on Wellington Street, named after the Duke thereof, in southeast London. Minutes later, he was hacked to death in broad daylight and in full view of onlookers by two men with machetes who crowed "Allahu Akbar!" as they dumped his carcass in the middle of the street like so much roadkill. As grotesque as this act of savagery was, the aftermath was even more unsettling

Washington rumor has it that Obama wants to be U.N. Secretary General. There are several reasons that make that likely, and if it´s true, it throws new light on a lot of Obama´s oddities -- including his Royalty Bows, his Apology Tours, his Muslim Sellout, and the Benghazi Cover-Up. But first -- why would Obama be planning to become the chief of the U.N. before he has even finished his second term?

MARK LEVIN: So why didn´t Chairman Issa hold an investigative hearing a year ago? Why didn´t Chairman Camp, all Republicans, hold an investigative hearing a year ago, and all the other tripping over themselves right now? I´ll tell you why. Because the establishment Republicans, the RINO Republicans, despise the Tea Party. They despise the conservative movement. We exist to be managed, to be shuttled to the polling place, to vote for their candidates. The Karl Roves of the world, and all the rest of them. They fight us in the primaries, they fight us at the grassroots.

Fox News chief Roger Ailes has sent a memo to his subordinates at the leading cable news network. He sent this memo to his staff today in connection with the federal investigation into an alleged leak to Fox News reporter James Rosen, a story that the Washington Post’s Ann E. Marimow broke earlier this week. The memo’s a masterpiece, too. For all those who wonder what it is about Ailes that endears his people to him — and that makes him such a good interviewee for any media reporter lucky enough to get an audience
