Scott Brown is in the process of crisscrossing the state this weekend as part of a thank-you tour to Massachusetts voters who chose him over Democrat Martha M.

A torrent of so-called "robocalls" in the final days of the Massachusetts Senate campaign has prompted one state legislator to look into restricting the automated political calls. Rep.

In a statement, Nelson -- who had been waffling on how he would vote -- said his vote Saturday is "not for or against the new Senate health care bill." What do you think about the healthcare bill?
