.....a hard-liner, not a mushy moderate, could convince the people to vote for him/her.

Not in MA
The only reason he won before was because of Obamacare - the great-scary unknown...and Coakley was a wackjob - but so is Warren so that's not a reason that will hold up anymore.

Unless there's momentum against a big Dem policy in the country - Most MA voters will not vote for a Conservative.

Many Unenrolls and Dems voted for Brown for that one Obamacare vote, the tea party momentum worked for him, the message was clear and we all worked it (knowing he wasn't a conservative).

The unenrolled/dems that I know voted for Brown all voted for Liawatha this time around. Complacency has again settled over MA.

You may be right about MA being lost. But we might as well try nominating a conservative. The moderates certainly can’t win and refuse to fignt the liberals.

In the mean time, we can increase the conservative numbers within the republican caucus. We have a good chance of taking the seat in WV. And we can also take back AK and NC and Franken in MN is very defeatable. Levin and Lautenberg may retire and Landriu and Pryor and Johnson and Shaheen can be defeated with the right candidates.

Fresh blood is the answer, not tired old moderates like Tommy Thompson.
