Sunday Contrasts (A Study In Campaigns Alert)
National Review ^ | 1/17/2010 | Kathryn Jean Lopez

Posted on 01/17/2010 2:24:52 PM PST by goldstategop

If you watched the Obama rally (which was easily accessible on national television), you saw people who showed up at a political rally excited about the president of the United States and yawning at the candidate they're being offered by the Democrats on Tuesday. If you watched the Brown rally (available via livestream on his site), you saw people revved up about an actual candidate on the ballot Tuesday.

If you watched Obama, you got dismissive attacks on Scott Brown. If you watched Scott Brown, you got positive reasons to vote for him. And Brown is a guy who could be pretty bitter, considering the lies being spewed about him. Instead, he appeared grateful for the opportunity to represent some positions that could use some boosting in Washington right about now.


TOPICS: Constitution/Conservatism; Culture/Society; Editorial; News/Current Events; Philosophy; Politics/Elections; US: Massachusetts
KEYWORDS: 2010elections; campaigns; kathrynjeanlopez; massachusetts; nationalreview; obama; scottbrown
A study campaigns: Scott Brown, the sunny Reaganite conservative vs the dour, frightened and dismissive Democrats. You could write about who looks like a winner. Its pretty apparent when you saw the campaigns in Massachusetts today.

God bless that fiery little redhead! He threw the Prez of the US way off balance. It took Obooboo five minutes to recover.

Nice one, redhead!

Oh, what happened? I missed that. Did the Obamites do something especially stupid?

We saw about (this much) of the confused sports information candidate and what we saw was her bashing and blaming Bush/Cheney. Funny, I didn’t know Bush/Cheney were eligible to run again did you??? :)
She is pitiful.

The Brown speech was perfect - allowing himself to be the conduit of disgust and anger on every issue for every voter. Kudos to the speech writer - perfect message, perfect tone.
