BOSTON—U.S. Sen. Scott Brown joined other Senate Republicans Tuesday to derail a Democratic bill aimed at keeping interest rates on federal college loans from doubling July 1, prompting criticism from Democrats in his home state who said he was hurting middle-class families.

The Massachusetts Republican and the state's Democratic Party also traded jabs over his fundraising efforts in New York City and his call for his chief Democratic rival, Elizabeth Warren, to release law school applications and personnel files from the universities where she's taught.

Tuesday's vote on the student loan bill, largely on partisan lines, came a day after Brown said he supported a one-year extension of the current 3.4 percent interest rate on federal student loans. Brown said it's time to come up with a bipartisan solution.

1. I wonder if the tens-of-thousands of college students in Mass are paying attention

I wonder if the thousands of college students in and around Boston are paying attention to this. Let's face it, IMHO, as a college town, BOSTON HAS NO EQUAL. Oh and then there the many other tens of thousands of college students who are attending colleges and schools elsewhere in the state. Hell, University of Massachusetts, Amherst which is way out in the rural part of the state has over 27,000. More than enough to sway and election I would say. Wouldn't you?
