ARIZONA: State Rep. Matt Heinz is staying in the race against former Gabrielle Giffords staffer Ron Barber.
MASSACHUSETTS: A Boston Globe poll finds incumbent Sen. Scott Brown and challenger Elizabeth Warren in a tight race, with Brown up 37%-35%, with 26% undecided.
NEW JERSEY: The special election date is set to replace Rep. Donald Payne (D-NJ).


I got "tight" once during a long layover at Logan. Does that count?
We will find out who those undecided voters vote for in November: Brown or Warren. Brown has effectively used his office in to craft a more moderate image than the one that emerged from the special election, when conservatives and Tea Party members from around the country rallied around his pledge to vote against Obama’s health care bill. This will be a very interesting race.
What I find even more interesting is that President Obama remains popular in Massachusetts. That’s a contrast to former Governor Mitt Romney, the front-runner in the Republican primary, who is viewed unfavorably by more respondents - 47 percent - than favorably - 42 percent. You would think that Romney - the former Gov. Of Mass - would have the advantage. I guess Romney's record speaks volumes to the residents of Massachusetts.
Elizabeth Warren is being out-spent by Scott "Centerfold" Brown who has Wall Street backing. However, if Warren can continue to speak to the 99% versus the 1%, especially in regard to things like Paul Ryan's plan to privatize Medicare in order to give more tax breaks to the rich, she has a good chance. After all, Ted Kennedy was about the social contract and the 99%, and his seat should have been held by someone with those same values.
Go Elizabeth Warren!
Is MASSACHUSETTS that wishy washy or is it the polls. One day they'll have Warren up by 3 or 4 the next day they'll have brown up by 3 or 4. Some times it changes in the same day.
Mo,
I think it depends on how the Celtics are doing that particular day. What until baseball starts up - the polls will really go wild depending on how the Red Sox are playing.
if anyone believes that globe poll, well then they are not paying attention.
