Yeah, and that’s why you don’t take a loser from Massachusetts and run him against an incumbent democrat in New Hampshire. That’s my point. HE WILL NOT WIN. It’s a lost opportunity.
Brown won in 2010 by running as a conservative. And he had all our support and money, etc. He ran as a moderate and lost. The same will happen in New Hampshire. I hear him on the radio here at least once a weak. He’s talking all middle of the road crap. He’s NOT going to defeat Shaheen that way. But the RNC and the NRSC love a good moderate.
Yes, he ran as a moderate and lost. I criticized him in my book for just that. Made some sport of it actually. However, in fairness - that was a general election with a massive liberal turn out.
He did run as a conservative to win, and my entire American Thinker piece was read, word for word, by Rush that day - as the main analysis of Brown’s win. Here’s the link, you’ll like the article:

HOWEVER, that was a special election, and a great night for us. Likely not something that could be duplicated in Mass again. Not with a popular liberal President on the ballot.
And one more time: has Mass ever elected anyone as conservative as Brown (even tho he’s not that conservative) in a statewide election in the last say 50 years????
