Who is More Worcester? Brown or Warren

Sorry, You are restricted from voting in this poll.

The battle for the U.S. Senate may boil down to who runs a better campaign in Central Mass and specifically Worcester. Senator Scott Brown (R-MA) won in 2010 on the strength of his margin in Central Massachusetts, but Elizabeth Warren (D) says she is no Martha Coakley. In towns ranging from Millbury to Shrewsbury to Fitchburg Brown scored 59% of the vote or more. Even in historically Democratic Worcester, Brown captured a surprising 47% in the special election.

Now, with a better funded and organized Democrat, Brown will be pressed to deliver the same margin. As a Senator, Brown has a US Senate district office in Worcester. He beat Warren by months in opening a campaign headquarters in Worcester.

As GoLocal reported last week, some Democrats have raised concerns about Warren's Central Mass strategy. GoLocal unveiled on Wednesday, Warren will be opening a campaign office within the next few weeks.

So, who is more committed to the Central Mass area? Who is more Worcester?
