The campaign of Sen. Scott Brown (R-Mass.), who’s got less of a cash problem than almost anyone running for office in 2012 (he has millions left over from his special election bid), points to a fairly obscure blog to stoke fears that MSNBC host Rachel Maddow is being recruited to oppose him. What’s the sourcing at the blog, Universal Hub? A tweet from state Democratic Party chairman John Walsh, which looks like a botched direct message to Maddow and reads
Some are talking about you running vs Scott Brown in ‘12. I’m Chair of MA Dem Party. My email is johnewalsh@Comcast.net cell-617-650-9311
Based on that, Brown’s extremely savvy team warns supporters that Democrats want a “rubberstamp” for their policies. “I’m sure she’s a nice person,” says Brown in the fundraising email. “I just don’t think America can afford her liberal politics.”
The email:
Friends,
It’s only been a couple of months since I’ve been in office, and before I’ve even settled into my new job, the political machine in Massachusetts is looking for someone to run against me. And you’re not going to believe who they are supposedly trying to recruit — liberal MSNBC anchor Rachel Maddow.
Rachel lives in western Massachusetts, and recently it was reported that the chairman of the state Democratic Party had apparently tried to reach out to her in an attempt to coax her into a race against me. You can read about it here.
The political season never ends, which is why I need your continued support. While my opponents strategize on how to defeat me in 2012, I’m going to continue to speak out against higher taxes, more spending and greater government control in our lives.
I relish being an independent voice in Washington, one that doesn’t

I got the same email.
LOL! Very funny, the woman/man is dumber than a box of rocks!
Richard maddow is the guy on MSNBC right?
LOL LOL This is a joke right..my dog could beat Rachel Maddow
Richard maddow is the guy on MSNBC right
Yep that’s him.
Is this a joke?
Bring it on suckers!
Scott will have no problem defeating him.
that dude maddow is one funny white dude..
Other than Keith O & Chrissy M...no one will vote for her. The Cartoon Network has more viewers according to official TV ratings!
Don’t worry Scott. Maddow will get as many votes as viewers. That’s um what...30?
Laugh if y’all want, but this is the state that sends Frank, Kerry, Olber, and all the rest of the Progressive Caucus back to DC every year.
A moonbat will fit right in, and if the battle cry is Take back OUR Seat! it might resonate.
WHY? He voted for the Jobs bill that gives money to businesses that hires illegal aliens~
This is Massachusetts we're talking about. People said similar things about then-Senate candidate ALFRANKEN. Look how that turned out.
She won’t look too good on the campaign trail without all the makeup goo and camera lighting!
Stop Madcow Disease!
Yah,but being a perv brings out a lot of voters (dead and alive) here in the Gay State.
Brown knows Maddow would have ZERO chance winning statewide. He’s just a money whore.
She’s the guy who insisted ON THE AIR that there was no such thing as a preamble to the constitution.
Brown should be afraid....very afraid.
If Maddow gets all over her viewers to each bring a friend to the vote, she could easily get a 100 votes, maybe even 120.
