The campaign of Sen. Scott Brown (R-Mass.), whos 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. Whats 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. Im Chair of MA Dem Party. My email is johnewalsh@Comcast.net cell-617-650-9311
Based on that, Browns extremely savvy team warns supporters that Democrats want a rubberstamp for their policies. Im sure shes a nice person, says Brown in the fundraising email. I just dont think America can afford her liberal politics.
The email:
Friends,
Its only been a couple of months since Ive been in office, and before Ive even settled into my new job, the political machine in Massachusetts is looking for someone to run against me. And youre 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, Im 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 doesnt

Amen. He ran as a Conservative and already disappointed us at least twice. He’s better than Maddow but there may be someone even better than he.
Oh yeah, the people of Massachusetts would like her. I’ve no doubt they’d vote for her in a heartbeat. A homosexual socialist? Definitely has a good shot to win in Mass. Perhaps not this election cycle, but she would be very viable in most years in that state.
Rachel Maddow vs Scott Brown.....you got to be kidding.....Rachel is a Obama shill......and no one watches her on MSNBC....she does her best to name drop and throw charges and O’Reilly and Beck, but they won’t even mention her name or respond......she is a sad sad liberal and would be CRUSHED in any election bid.
When will TMZ release Mad Cow’s centerfold photos? [BARRRRRRRRFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFF]
Maddow seems engulfed with hostility. Sad to live that way. Perfect complement to Olbermaniac, however.
She has to run. With Comcast buying NBC hosts will now have to earn their keep. By running she has an excuse to bow out before being canceled due to low ratings.
>>Shes the guy who insisted ON THE AIR that there was no such thing as a preamble to the constitution.
so he’s an imbecile? Good for him. Now why would Brown be concerned about this guy? A used condom should win against Maddow.

Oh really? Perhaps you have not been paying attention to whom the people of Massachusetts regularly vote?
I give you exhibit A)
Barney Frank
I give you exhibit B)
The Massachusetts House of Representatives currently has 144 Democrats and a whopping 16 Republicans.
Yes, Rachel Maddow is most definitely the kind of candidate who would be attractive to a majority of Massachusetts voters.
It’s sad, but it is what it is.
I doubt even Mass would elect a transsexual like Maddow.
Yep, never underestimate the power of a lefty to vote for a loonie.
Why?
Who has a hairier chest?
...the same Scott Brown who voted for the jobs bill?...that’s the guy who wants our help?
