Scott Brown is a carpetbagger. Bob Smith backed Hanoi John Kerry. Screw them both.
That leaves Andy Martin, Jim Rubens, and Karen Testerman.
Bob Smith ain’t perfect but don’ throw him out so quickly... Brown yes,... review them all and take what Smith did in context is all I am ask you to do.. He did it to piss of the GOPe... this was prior the Tea party being any option for his disdain of the Republican Party... Was his letter smart... no. it now has consequences... but you have understand the context and timing too. Rubens and Martin will get hammered by the GOPe machine and piss stream media. Testerman would be a great senator, but she is too kind and nice... she will get the Jack Kimball treatment by the Sununu/Gregg/Binney machines.
Unfortunately that leaves Bob, mistakes and all ... he knows the game and the players well enough to win... Testerman does not. Being a Christian that circled the State house in Concord does not win elections in my opinion. I hope I am wrong...
