Scott Brown: I'm exploring a run for president
Boston Herald ^ | 8/18/13 | Hillary Chabot

Posted on 08/18/2013 2:04:28 PM PDT by GQuagmire

Former U.S. Sen. Scott Brown told the Herald he is exploring a possible 2016 presidential bid today as he hit a well-worn stomping ground for Oval Office hopefuls – the Iowa State Fair. “I want to get an indication of whether there’s even an interest, in Massachusetts and throughout the country, if there’s room for a bi-partisan problem solver,” said Brown, who has been meeting with top republicans nationally and last week hosted a Fenway event for Republican National Committee members. Brown indicated he isn't close to deciding whether he will run. “It’s 2013 I think it’s premature, but I am curious. There’s a lot of good name recognition in the Dakotas and here – that’s pretty good.” Brown rose to national prominence after his surprise win in the 2010 special election for the U.S. Senate over Attorney general Martha Coakley. He lost the seat to U.S. Sen. Elizabeth Warren in 2012, but he has recently kept the door open to many races including the 2014 Bay State gubernatorial and a U.S. Senate bid in New Hampshire

He's out of his depth....

I'd guess that the answer is already in.

I don’t get why he won’t run for Gov of MA. He should wipe the floor against whoever he would run against.....

Yeah, when I see “bipartisan” I know it’s code for sell out, progressive RINO.

Scott knows that the single female voter in America votes with her libido. It worked for 0bama.

Why would you want to be Governor from a party that has 10% of the legislature ? Until the GOP builds up its elected officials from the ground up in MA, there’s no point having a Governor whose power is worthless.

Scott Brown is none other than
Romney’s toadie - and like the Rat King
lives here, lives there, poses family,
pleases Democrats, supports RomneyCARE,
and most importantly, backstabs conservatives.

Scott Brown, an attorney, officer of the court, and JAG who waited until he was writing a politically expedient book to announce that he had been molested many years earlier at camp. Yet Brown knew that the offender continued working at the same camp into Brown’s adult years and was likely molesting other children but Brown said NOTHING! UNTIL he writes a book to presumably gain some type of perverse support for his next political run. And against Warren he pummeled the airwaves with ads supporting planned parenthood. He’s a pure disgrace.

I thought Canada had prime ministers. And isn’t he a little liberal for them?

How about WE remember the last time we ran a Massachusetts RINO, and look how well that went?!

Looks like Scott’s ego is getting the best of him. That’s all I can figure.

This would be on the same level as Roseanne Barr running for president.
