That’s funny. Liz Warren said he was anti-abortion and pro-gun.

Yup, especially on amnesty. Has pictures of them on stage, together, laughing, hugging. Whole nine yards.

Brown is saturating the airwaves with amnesty ads...not paying attention to anything else at all. I doubt anyone even knows there is a primary coming up...it is just assumed that it will be Brown vs. Shaheen.

Anyone who won’t be a tick mark Harry Reid as Senate Majority Leader is an upgrade.

We need to differentiate red-state RINOs from blue-state RINOs. Not everyone is Ron Johnson. I don’t mind having RINOs like Brown or Collins from purple/blue states, I can abide that.

Take a look at their Heritage scorecards...

Our policy problem is NOT the blue state RINOs. It’s the red-state RINOs that kill us - Graham, Alexander, Cochran, Wicker etc.

Yup. Glad I don’t have to sit the race out. My candidates might have flaws but they aren’t outright democrat infiltrators like Brown.

a RINO is the best we can do in the NE states

That was my point back in 2010 when I attempted to stress the need to grit our teeth and support Mike Castle in Delaware. But no... we ended up with Christine O'Donnell as a candidate and the "bearded Marxist" as a senator.

Ditto in Nevada, also in 2010... Sue Lowden or Danny Tarkanian would've wiped the floor with Harry Reid, but lo and behold, onto the field comes Sharron Angle.

“You are kidding, I totally didn’t know that. When is the primary? I suppose it is a foregone conclusion that he will win that, no?”

Primary is Sept 9 and there is a 6 person Republican primary. He is facing off with former Sen Bob Smith and one other active challenger. Smith as the sitting Senator lost a primary to John Edward Sununu (the younger) in 2002 who went on to beat Jean Shaheen, who them beat him six years later.

Castle was a traitor from the get-go and all but destroyed the DE GOP. He needed to be removed.

And to set some teeth on fire here.... we in NH, ended up with Ayotte the Juan McPain water carrier because of SARAH PALIN endorsing ovaries instead of Ovide the true conservative in the Primary back a few years ago...

I take Palin and her girl power cr@p with a grain of salt..Thanks Sarah... Smelly Ayotte has just been a RINO knife planter in the backs of conservatives Senator.

FYI...
Kelly Ayotte will officiate wedding for Scott Brown’s daughter
UPDATED 6:04 PM EDT Jul 10, 2014

Brown is already hooked up with Ayotte!

What do you expect from high cheek bones, aka Fake Indian? What Liz Warren-F ake Indian from mAss, meant was Scoot Brown only wanted to kill the kids in womb, not post birth up to age 10 or so... big difference.. you know some women take a while to make “a choice” and only tying that choice to a full 9 months pregnancy term is just not right.... or some such BS... as for guns Scoott only wanted an Assault Weapons Ban re-in statement, that makes him Pro Gun in Liz Warren -F ake Indian from mAss’s world.

You speaketh truth. Just to clarify the fake Indian is from Oklahoma. She rode a trail of tears from college campus to college campus until pitching her 2$ million teepee in Cambridge.

I was very happy to see this, the first poll to have it this close.

I have it 11th on my list of 12 winnable rat seats (MN is 12th).

Scott Brown listens to his bodyguard Howie Carr (protects Brown from answering any serious questions on gun control,etc.) on immigration. Ayotte listens to NPR on immigration.

There are a lot of anti-amnesty white Democrats and RINOs who support minimum wage and other issues.

Scott Brown is probably more conservative than Ayotte. Ayotte would come out for abortion and gay marriage if she thought it could help her politically.

Brown against Shaheen is a preview of Tea Party against Ayotte in 2016.

Scott Brown is like Pete Wilson or Lou Barletta. Weak on everything but immigration.

Id support Bob Smith in the primary. He said Inhofe, Sessions, Cruz, Lee or Rand should be the majority leader.

http://media.wrko.com/a/95597698/bob-smith-makes-his-pich.htm

“It could be Cruz from Texas. It could be Mike Lee. It could be Mike Lee. It could be Jeff Sessions. It could be Jim Inhofe. Or it could be Bob Smith.”

Angle and ODonnell helped kill the Dream Act. The fact that unelectable candidates were winning primaries scared Orrin Hatch and others at the time not to vote for 2 million undocumented Democrats.

I think Angle losing to Dean Heller in 2006 was a worse than 2010. Now the Nevada GOP is 100% wall to wall pro-amnesty. If Angle had won maybe should would have stayed in the House of Reps and probably could have helped stop or get rid of RINOs like Amodei and Joe Heck.

It was only 4 or 5 winnable races so after all that it was possible the GOP would have still only had 49 Senators.

http://pjmedia.com/instapundit/111707/

By my count, Miller’s primary coup may have helped gain around ten votes by terrifying GOP incumbents who might otherwise have been tempted by the prospect of a feel-good, bipartisan, MSM-approved pro-DREAM stand.”

I need to correct my self, this is a 10 person republican primary.

And before it i asked, as per Ballotpedia: “New Hampshire is one of 21 states with a mixed primary system. Unaffiliated voters may vote in the primary, but in order to do so, they have to choose a party before voting. This changes their status from unaffiliated to affiliated with that party, unless they fill out a card to return to undeclared status.”
