Daily Polichicks - Tuesday

Hello everybody!

We're putting this out on the fly, so please excuse our brevity. 

Here's little diddy about today's news.  Read up:

* It's getting nasty up there in Massachusetts!  Today voters will choose a new U.S. senator to take Sen. Ted Kennedy's old seat, and the dead heat race beetween Attorney Gerneral Martha Coakley (D) and State Senator Scott Brown (R) is so hot it's on fire!  

The Coakley and Brown camps have said all kinds of mean things about each other, and even indicated that they don't mind getting physical.  A Coakley aide shoved a reporter to the ground when the reporter tried to ask a question, and Brown's supporters have made violent threats against Coakley.

So what's at stake here?  Well first, the Dems right to continue to call Massachusetts a dark blue state.  And second, healthcare reform.  If Brown wins this race, the Dems will no longer have the 60 senate votes they need to pass their healthcare bill.   [Boston Globe]

* And speaking of Scott Brown and hot, he posed nude in a steamy pictorial for Cosmopolitan during his law school days!  He was profiled as the winner of Cosmo's "America's Sexiest Man" contest.  Oh, and another little tidbit of Brown trivia is that his daughter, Ayla, was once an American Idol contestant. [The Hollywood Gossip]

* Oh, say it isn't so Clef!  Wyclef Jean responded to allegations that his Yele charity has misappropriated funds, to put it nicely.  Wyclef admitted that "mistakes" had been made, but denied that funds were used for his own "personal benefits."  Promising immediate relief in Haiti, Yele has raised over $2 million dollars since the earthquake.  Not one penny has been spent on the Haitians yet. [AOL Sphere]

* More wives are bringing home the bacon.  A new Pew study shows that wives are increasingly becoming the breadwinners of the family. [Washington Post]

That's all, Fabulistas!  Have a great day!
