Sounds like common sense Reagan conservatism to me. I don't agree with him about Romneycare and he doesn't go far enough on abortion as I would like but I agree with 90% of what he says. And he is the man for the American moment.

The man is not perfect (who among us is?), but if we trade Ted Kennedy for this man, it would be a truly great deal.

That isn’t analysis exactly. Scott Brown may not be as hardline as I but who is? He seems to understand the role of government and for me that is the most important issue.

I don’t agree with him on Israel, and he should take a tougher stance on Iran. Otherwise, if I lived in MA I would definitely vote for him.

Why aren’t more women backing him?

He is a conservative. He should be ten points behind with embracing Ronald Reagan's views. And we're told Reaganism can't win in Massachusetts!

I just came back from a huge Brown Rally in the city of Quincy Ma. I could not believe the amount of admitted Dems that were there to support Brown. They are sick and tired of having Washington cramming everything down their throats.

It looks good.

He is what I call a moderate. Just a tad to the right of center. I would vote for him if I could but I'd rather have a Palin type if it were possible.

What do mean? What you do call low taxes, more personal freedom, pro 2nd Amendment, pro gun and a war on terror stand? I'd hardly call that moderate. I'd call it revolutionary!

Energy and Environment I support common-sense environment policy that will help to reduce pollution and preserve our precious open spaces.

Clueless self-hating Republican, as usual.

Label him as you will. He is as conservative as could possibly be and still be competitive in MA.

Yeah. He should have said he wants to increase pollution and pave over all remaining open spaces.

All you've proven with that comment is that you've bought the leftist line hook, line, and sinker. "Open spaces" require management best done by people who know it intimately. That is more of a private property system than it is "our" open spaces. There is no one on this forum who has spent more of his life restoring native habitat and made more of a commitment to free enterprise environmental solutions than I.

See tag line.

I hope he wins! But I gotta say, most Freeper’s analysis on Brown verus Scozzafava is as nuanced as Brown’s positions!

No I haven't. I'm just smart enough to know that a politician telling people he's pro-environment is proving he's not an idiot.

OK, I'll take him At least the mealy-mouthed RINO SOB didn't use the word "pristine." What a nanmby-pamby statement! "Passionate about Education?" (What? You are personally going to help Leroy with his homework?) No Flag? Small Dog? Apple Pie? Holding my nose and joining the MA people* from afar, I say vote for the guy. Vote early. Vote more often than the Democrats. Get this small step done. Please.

Maybe we can whip his sorry RINO ass into shape after the fact. It's a shot.

Fail to beat Coakley, and I am back to calling all of you "massholes." Brown wins, I'll never say it again. Swear. BTW, Ted still dead?

Here's what the DemonRATs are sending out to raise money...

I just got up to Martha Coakley's campaign HQ to help her win Tuesday's crucial special election. I have to tell you -- this isn't like anything Massachusetts has ever seen.

It's happening right after the holidays, so a lot of people haven't even heard about it. Meanwhile, the same guys behind the Swift Boat ads are taking over the airwaves to distort Martha's record, and the same far-right tea-party crowd that's attacking President Obama is funding her opponent.

The stakes in this race are incredibly high. If we don't hold this seat, a right-wing Republican will hold Sen. Ted Kennedy's old seat until at least 2012 -- and we'll lose a crucial vote in the Senate for health reform and the agenda we fought so hard for last year.

That's why we're going all out in Massachusetts with a massive effort to lock up a Democratic victory. But we can only afford to keep this battle up against the far right through Election Day if folks like you chip in.

Please donate $5 or more to help us make Martha Coakley the next senator from Massachusetts.

Democratic ads are highlighting the key differences between Martha, a long-time public servant and one of the nation's best attorneys general, and her extreme Republican opponent who would walk in lockstep with Mitch McConnell and national GOP power brokers.

And our organizers are engaging volunteers by the thousands to make sure Obama voters make it back to the polls.

But we need your help to keep it going. Please donate $5 or more to the Democratic Party to support our work, including our efforts to elect Martha Coakley:

Let's win this,

Hari
