You got that right. As a MA resident, I can say that we knew what we were getting when we voted for Brown. He was a much better choice than Martha Coakley, and it's nice to have fewer Dems in the Senate. More than that, I cannot say.

The thing that DID disturb me was all of the conservatives who came out right after the election and said "Brown for President!"

Please. You don't want that. You really don't want that.

Ditto that, we MA conservatives and the tea party knew he wasn't the great hope the rest of the country saw in him. I commented on a few Brown threads here about him when he was running and got bashed for it - the momentum was strong to get him elected across the country - the money poured in and I shut up - way better than Martha, that's all we could hope for - that and the Kennedy legacy kick in the pants:)

Democrat and Independents now like him in my area - need I say more?

I hear you. Coakley. That’s really all it took to elect Brown.

But as a presidential candidate? No.
