ZERO said that "Everybody can buy a truck."
Scott Brown replied:
Mr. President, unfortunately in this economy, not everybody can buy a truck. My goal is to change that by cutting spending, lowering taxes and letting people keep more of their own money.

Didn’t every tax payer buy a little a GM truck for someone else?

What a guy.
Patches Kennedy rooting for “Marcia” the new lead on Drudge.
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
Give Patches a break, That’s how I say Martha when I’m loaded.
Brown is a libertarian. Closer to Ron Paul than to John McCain.
“Scott has *it*. He really connects with the people especially in MA.
I hope he runs for President....I am not kidding. He is the antidote to Obama. I think he would be Obama in 2012.”
My thoughts exactly. He is also quick on his feet — after his quick response “this is not Kennedy’s seat, this is the people’s seat” and this response, I am endorsing him for GOP nominee for president for 2012. This is exactly the guy we need to beat the big O.
I was thinking the same thing. Fred Barnes said that in 2010 the real leader of the Republicans will appear.
Senator Scott Brown 41st senator of the US Congress for President. Very interesting.
Clinton had Monica destroy him and no one saw it coming.
Hillary had Obama destroy her andf no one saw it coming.
Obama had Scott Brown destroy him and no one saw it coming.
Very interesting indeed.
Yes we can...and yes we did via clunker cash...OURS! Plus with ObamaCare we too will buy the Unions some healthcare coverage. Aren't we such generous yet loathed chumps in DemWorld redistribution of wealth schemes?
Great point. I remember in the 1980 campaign Reagan was portrayed as an old, mean-spirited, scary warmonger. This sort of made sense because in 1976 Reagan ran a hard-line campaign against Ford which focused on topics like wasteful entitlement programs and the Soviet Union. Reagan ran in the 1980 primaries on similar ideas. But in 1980 general election campaign, Reagan came across in the debate as likable and quick-witted. "There you go again", delivered with Reagan's classic smile, was the catchphrase of the election.
It is hard to demonize someone who is likable, and quick-witted retorts build that likability.
Compare this to someone like Newt Gingrich, who pushed very similar ideas around entitlements as Reagan, but had no charm like Reagan. The demonization stuck to Gingrich.

Both wealth and hope.
It also helps that Scott is in the Army Reserves. If he trounces in Mass - I think he can win anywhere. He is more conservative than Mitt too.
Scott can beat Obama. He might be able to carry California because people are so angry. I think he win with all factions of Repubs and pick up lots of Democrats plus he can win with women and young people.
Presidential races often comes down to younger candidate and good looks....it is huge.
McCain was too old and feeble for many especially the young. Scott would trounce Obama there.
Speaking of Obie, anyone seen or heard from him after his bad day?
He’s fetching Marcia Obie’s coffee.
How about a Palin/Brown or Brown/Palin ticket?
Reminds me of Marie Antoinette's famous statement, when told that the French peasants had no bread to eat, "Then let them eat cake."
Same sort of clueless arrogance.
