Boston Mayor Menino Endorses Elizabeth Warren for U.S Senate

He gave his endorsement at a pro-Warren rally in Roslindale on Friday afternoon.

Boston Mayor Thomas Menino endorsed U.S. Senate candidate Elizabeth Warren for United States Senate during a pro-Warren rally in Roslindale Friday.   Menino, a Democrat, said he did not endorse Warren right away because he "wanted to get to know her" first. And he came to his final decision by pretending he wasn't the mayor, he said.  "What if I was just a guy from Hyde Park who had a job with the city, whose wife was an accountant and worried about their retirement savings," he said. "What if I was any guy who wondered how his two kids would send his six grandkids to college, and whether they would have good jobs on the other end.  If I wasn’t the Mayor, who would speak up in Washington on my behalf?

The U.S. Senate race is very close, according to a spate of recent polls. Three polls show that Democratic candidate Elizabeth Warren is in the lead among likely voters in November, but the latest poll, conducted this week, predicts a Brown victory by several points.  Neither candidate has established a large enough lead so far as to pull ahead of the polls' margins of error, meaning the highly competitive race will likely stay close until election day in November.  The latest poll is by the University of Massachusetts Lowell/Boston Herald, which was released on Wednesday night.
