A new Boston Globe poll shows the race between Senator Scott Brown and Elizabeth Warren in a dead heat, with ample opportunity for both candidates to win the nation’s most expensive Senate race eight days from now.
The survey indicates Brown holds a razor-thin 45 percent to 43 percent lead over Warren among likely voters, well within the poll’s margin of error of plus or minus 4.1 percentage points. Brown’s lead evaporates, with 47 percent for each candidate, when voters who are undecided are asked which candidate they are leaning toward.
The poll is a reversal from a September Globe survey that showed Warren ahead 43 percent to 38 percent, as well as several other recent polls that have found Warren with a slight lead. The shift underscores the belief long held by both sides that the race, active for more than a year, would be competitive until the end.

Warren will give the seat up in two years so that Deval Patrick can appoint Joke3 to the “Kennedy’s Seat”. Why do you think they went with an outsider from OK instead of one of the giant egos in the House?

Why would Warren do that? What’s in it for her?
There’s nothing they could promise her that’s better than actually holding the Senate seat for yourself. What you suggested won’t happen. It’s too much of a bizarre power-grab with too much backlash potential. The only way a snot-nose Kennedy gets another Senate seat is if people vote that way.
“Joke3” is already being made fun of now by people who think he’s too young and inexperienced to get a seat in Congress. Gifting him the Senate seat two years from now would be a political disaster - even here.
The Dems are shameless in this State, but even they have some limits.
