The
Hill... Senate
hinges on New
England, By Alexander Bolton
09/28/12 - The battle for control of the Senate could come down to New
England, a region where
the GOP brand was seen as defunct a few years ago. A best-case scenario
for Republicans would allow
the party to retain Senate seats in Massachusetts and Maine while
picking up a seat in Connecticut.
Coupled with gains in other parts of the county, it would likely be
enough to make Sen. Mitch
McConnell (R-Ky.) the majority leader. But to do so, the GOP will have
to beat history. No Republican
