The special election to fill Ted Kennedy’s Senate Seat heated up today with Martha Coakley coming down hard on the fact that Scott Brown does not pay for his staff’s health insurance:

Has the Republican Party become an endangered species?
Polls suggest that only one-fourth of the electorate considers itself Republican, that independents are trending Democratic and that as few as five states have solid Republican pluralities. And the electorate is getting less white, less rural, less Christian — in short, less demographically Republican.
