In one of the first repercussions of Thursday’s Citizens United ruling, the Colorado Republican Party says it will sue to overturn state limits on corporate and union expenditures.
Colorado voters approved a ban on those expenditures in 2002, but several groups now say they’ll seek to overturn that ruling in the wake of the Supreme Court’s decision, the Denver Post reports. Democrat Martha Coakley and Republican Scott Brown faced off over health care, the war on terror and abortion during Monday night’s final televised debate in the Massachusetts special Senate election. With the vote to fill the remainder of the late Democratic Sen. Ted Kennedy’s seat just one week away, the race has popped up on the nation’s political radar screen as tighter than expected. While some recent polls have indicated Brown neck-and-neck, others, including internal Democratic surveys, have shown Coakley ahead by a comfortable margin in a race she has been heavily favored to win. With the Massachusetts Senate special election less than two weeks away, Scott Brown is framing himself as the GOP’s last hope to stop Democratic health care legislation, an approach that could provide both parties with an early glimpse at the political resonance of the issue. As the underdog GOP nominee in one of the most Democratic states in the nation, the state senator’s message has been simple: If he upsets Democratic state Attorney General Martha Coakley in the Jan. 19 election to fill the seat once held by the late Sen. Ted Kennedy, he will provide the critical vote to halt the Democrats’ health care bill once the final version is negotiated. A Suffolk University poll released Thursday evening shows Republican Scott Brown 4 points ahead of Democrat Martha Coakley as he continues his improbable surge in the Senate special election in Massachusetts. The poll reports Brown is leading Coakley, 50 percent to 46 percent, just within the margin of error. Independent candidate Joe Kennedy received 3 percent. |
