That is exciting news for those who miss Arlen Specter!!!!
They’re that stupid!!!
That won’t happen according to just about every hack watcher in the state.
The RINO gets blown out by the Kennedy twerp!!

Lower amount of voter fraud should help
Let the democrats elect him...
I see people here who don't like the politics of MA no matter what's at stake or who the candidate. They're refusing to help ensure a senate seat returns to the GOP "this time" as if they lifted a finger last time. It's sure and certain path way to permanent minority status, self-marginalization and sure irrelevance.
Yes. Plus presidential elections have the habit of turning out the stupidest of the stupid. Especially when their Santa Claus boy king is on the ticket.
Why should I care if a progressive puts an R or a D after her name? Probably better if the progressive calls himself a democrat. Progressive Republicans just stink up the brand.
The GOP establishment loves a good loser though
Scott Brown embarrassed himself in the last election with advertising that stressed he was an independent who could work both sides of the street. When he first ran I worked for him along with thousands of other disaffected conservatives. As a Senator he almost immediately sided with the Dem side of the street. Good luck Scott, I’m done with you. In the next election cycle I’m voting with my feet, Arizona here I come.
Still trust polls, now, do ya? BTW, Ted Kennedy Jr. is interested in running for this seat, too, and, if Ted Kennedy Jr., officially, gets into this race, then he will win it by a lot! The majority of Massachusetts voters are scary and strange, whenever it comes to voting for anybody from the Kennedy family running for any political office in Massachusetts.
Well many people on this thread are less than enthusiastic. Hey we need 6 to dethrone Reid, add Brown to Rounds and hopefully Capito and we are halfway there. Capito does not enthuse me and Brown even less so but they are the best options in their respective states at this time.
If anyone would really rather have a Kennedy in there, whatever I won’t argue, I can’t say that Brown is a conservative.
The turnout is key, POTUS turnout, forget it I guess. He won in low special election turnout.
I believe he can win again and win a full term in the 2014 midterm election. Several Senators have served and then lost and came back and lost again. Chapman Revercomb of WV comes to mind.
They may try to change the law so an appointed Senator can serve till the 2014 election.
Either way it is likely Deval will not appoint another placeholder and Brown would be facing an incumbent appointed Senator, possibly Deval himself.
“If anyone would really rather have a Kennedy in there, whatever I wont argue, I cant say that Brown is a conservative.”
He’s not. I suspect if he runs for anything again, he’ll run as an IND. I’ve said that before.
The thing is, just when you forget the clustrf*cks he’s voted for in the past, he lobs a new one out there with this assault weapons ban garbage. It’s REALLY hard to support a “Republican” when they mimic RAT talking points. Case in point on a personal level: In 2010 I donated time and money to his campaign. Last month, I voted; no extra efforts given. He really has supported some truly asshat legislation.
“The turnout is key, POTUS turnout, forget it I guess. He won in low special election turnout.”
Yes, the 2010 special election had ~600,000 less voters than last months POTUS election, IIRC.
The RATS have not lost a statewide race in MA since Brown’s win in 2010.
ok, count me in for scottie. Got people to visit in the town of Harvard, MA. But i will jus be visitin’ the Scott campaign. No heavy lifting.
meant to ping junkey for above, guess there are 2 of ya.
Harvard, MA has an AWESOME sportsmen’s/gun club. My friend joined ~1 year ago.
should I visit the gun club wearing my Scott Brown T-shirt?
Sure, you’ll be welcomed.
