Incredible, just like Election2008 - but different GOP target.
It’s interesting his shout outs went to Romney and McCain, nothing to the Hannitys, Becks, etc that gave him the platform to gain nationwide cred. I didn’t see a mention of the Constitution in the victory speech. He was certainly dead-on national security though.
Oh stop. The man won. Now, let’s just focus on November, k?
It will probably happen the first time he breaks ranks with the GOP or discusses the possiblity of doing so. And in all likelihood, he will deserve the criticism he gets.
A true conservative could never win in Massachusetts, so a moderate is indeed the most we could possibly hope for. Still, a moderate in Massachusetts is akin to a fire-breathing arch-conservative in, say, Texas, comparatively speaking.
Right now we have his word that he will vote against HCR. If nothing else, we win at Gettysburg. The fight goes on.
He is no, and never has been, a Sarah Palin. We know he isn’t conservative. But he is our best hope for stopping the headlong hurdle over the cliff into the chasm of communism. You take the victories that you can get and you work from there.
He is Republican #41. He is also a message to Washington and he's a great message but as a Senator, I think many here will find him a bit of a disappointment. He will never be a darling of the tea party movement.
“Turn on” him? ...
We can, should, and must hold his feet to the fire. He’s a “centrist”, and let’s have no illusions that he will always act as a conservative.
OTOH, he is replacing the communist Kennedy ... and defeated the communist Coakley.
That, my FRiends, was a kick in the crotch to the ‘Rats.
Kicking the ‘Rats in the crotch is always good.
He is a crusial vote AGAINST a bill that would have taken our country over the cliff. He won because he was against Obama’s Dathcare and Coakley was not. Period!
The consensus is Zero needs to be less of an idealogue and start reaching across the aisle to survive. Does FR need to do the same?
Oh rly?
Are we so stuck in losing elections and being the minority party, that a winning, articulate champion who TROUNCED the leftwing machine in the bluest of blue states - is somehow not to be taken seriously?
The guy is a brilliant politician! A natural winner. Did any of the so quick to criticize Scott Brown nay sayers actually see his victory speech? It was electric.
He’s charming. No tele-prompter needed to be witty. Thinks on his feet. Connects with the so-important independents.
Patriotic. A veteran. Family man. Charming as can be.
Get Palin and Brown together, and the GOP cannot be stopped.
For crying out loud.
Scott Brown is a WINNER. Quit with the circular firing squad!!!
Let’s please introduce Governor Palin, and Senator Brown. And get the 2012 GOP electoral wipe-out of the Marxist madness we’ve been watching, underway.
Best thread I’ve seen so far on Scott Brown.
The RomneyNotBots will be on him soon enough.
They can’t help themselves.
You just couldn't savor the moment for a day or two, could you!
Pathetic.
Brown surely isnt a FR conservative but let him have his time. Its destroying the RATS
It’s great that Brown won because he does represent opposition to our most immediate problem but don’t go crazy over him. Politically, he’s pretty far left of most of us. I’d say he slots in somewhere between the twin nitwits of Maine and Chuck Grassley. He’s infinitely better than Coakley but we’re going to need to coach him up a bit regarding limited gov’t and Constitutional fidelity.
I don’t care if Scott Brown sacrifices small furry animals to Satan in the Senate chambers. As long as he votes AGAINST Obamacare.
Another earthquake in Haiti.
It’s Scott Brown’s fault!
