With Warren holding a small lead in the polls, and Brown getting a key endorsement from the Boston Herald, who do you think has the momentum coming into the final days of the election?
Democrat Elizabeth Warren is up by five points over incumbent Republican Scott Brown in the latest WBUR/MassINC poll of the Massachusetts senate race. That's a near-total reversal of the BUR poll last month, which had Brown up by four on Oct. 9. In fact, Warren has been trending upwards in most recent polling.

Ballot to be finalized by AG's office on July 3.
Of the 31 initiatives put forth for the fall ballot, four have enough signatures and been certified by Attorney General Martha Coakley in order to make the ballot by the July 3 deadline. And of those, one looks likely to be resolved by the Legislature before that date. The initiative which appears likely to reach resolution is called "An Act Promoting Excellence in Public Schools." Backed by Stand for Children Massachusetts, it involves retaining and promoting teachers based on performance reviews and test scores rather than seniority.
