Massachusetts voters are heading to the polls to pick a new U.S. senator.
Democratic
U.S. Rep. Edward Markey and Republican Gabriel Gomez scrambled to
energize supporters and mobilize get-out-the-vote efforts in the hours
leading up to Tuesday's special election to succeed John Kerry in the
U.S. Senate.
Both candidates made a series of
campaign stops Monday, culminating with election eve rallies while their
campaigns cranked up their all-important ground games designed to get
as many of their voters to the polls as possible on a day when statewide
turnout was expected to be light.
Gomez was
scheduled to vote early Tuesday in his hometown of Cohasset, with Markey
casting his ballot later in the morning in Malden.
Markey, 66, has led in the polls, but said he's taking nothing for granted.
