I don't think that I'm being Pollyannish, but I think Brown will be able to reshape his own constituents into an image that will be more receptive to conservative ideas. Ideas which have been anathema to voters in Mass.
Many of the true conservatives in states like MA have probably been demoralized for years. They are going to come out of the catacombs. They can engage and move the indies and mods to the right, even just a few point will help tremendously.
Moderate libs in purple states (Mark Warner or Evan Bayh) who have bigger political fish to fry are not going to chase Harry Reid over the cliff into an early retirement.
Conservative candidates in purple and blue states are going to pick up the banner and attempt a similar assault on the liberal establishment, as Brown has done; some will succeed, some will fail, most will make the Dems expend resources and play full court press.
Finally, I personally think it's less about Scott Brown, yes, he is the vessel, but I think that it has to do with the people. The voting people who have otherwise gone unheard for years.
I'm going to enjoy the day!
