...Massachusetts and Cambridge voters have only a handful of important choices apart from the marquee gubernatorial race. Senator Edward M. Kennedy ’54-’56 (D-Mass.) is expected to easily win an eighth term over Republican Kenneth Chase, a lawyer and businessman who ran against Rep. Edward J. Markey (D-Mass.) in 2004 and took 21 percent of the vote. A member of the Senate since 1962, Kennedy won 73 percent of the vote in his last election. Apart from the governorship, the attorney general is the only statewide office that is likely to change...
...against Yale. An injury to senior Jason De Lierre hindered the Harvard squad, which entered the final match of the contest knotted at 4 with the Bulldogs. Playing at No. 4, Garnett Booth propelled the Crimson into the final with a 3-1 victory. Against the Tigers, Harvard ran away with the tournament title. Senior Siddharth Suchde led the way by rolling to a 3-0 win over Princeton’s Mauricio Sanchez at the No. 1 spot.

...jurisdictions are seeing a jump in the ballots going out and coming back in by mail.

Certain kinds of legislation that the G.O.P. has passed over the last four years over Democratic opposition, such as tort reform and and limits to late-term abortions, probably wouldn't be put on the floor for votes if Democrats ran the House. And Mayhew's research does show that hearings and investigations increase dramatically with divided government, as one party seeks to embarrass the executive branch of the other. So expect to see lots of subpoenas flying from the offices of Democrats Henry Waxman and John Conyers, who would head...
...challenge the signatures gathered by the initiative supporters. But last week a judge ruled that the challenge had been filed too late. In Colorado, opponents of the wage initiative, dubbed Amendment 42, say that raising entry-level pay in the state to $6.85 would hinder job growth. They ran a TV ad showing Moses pleading with God for divine intervention to stop the wage initiative. "We can't let the people make this mistake," God responds. "Go. Spread the word. Vote no on 42!" Voters don't seem to be heeding that call, though. In a Rocky Mountain News/CBS poll...
