The race to fill the Senate seat left vacant by the death of Sen. Ted Kennedy, D-Mass., is closer than many expected, and the results could, in the words of one analyst, "rock American politics."
Republican candidate state Sen. Scott Brown is within nine points of the Democratic nominee in the heavily Democratic district, according to the latest Rasmussen poll. That assessment said Democrat Attorney General Martha Coakley would get 50 percent of the vote, while Brown would get 41 percent.
But strategists with the Massachusetts Republican Party say their internal polling indicates the Jan. 19 special election is closer than the Rasmussen poll shows.
Brown says voter turnout will be crucial.
"If everyone gets out and votes, this election will be very competitive. I'm working about 20 hours a day on this campaign. I'm working to get the voters to the polls," he said.
"We have teams of people all over the state making sure that young people and the elderly who are with us have rides to the polls," Brown said.

Heaviily Democratic district? I thought Senate races were statewide. Am I missing something?
Anyone interested in STOPPING Government takeover of Healthcare should donate to Scott Brown. The RNC has ignored him and he is relying on internet and grassroots support. His election means the END of the 60 vote runaway Democrat train. If you are skeptical about how efficiently run a health care system will be when government workers make the decisions look at the TSA, Post Office, IRS , Freddie and Fannie to name a few. Complete disasters of incompetence. After Health care it will be AMnesty, then repeal of gun rights. This is a once in a lifetime opportunity to stop them NOW.
