Saturday I told a friend (here in Penna, where we could not have voted for him) that the very best thing about Brown is blockage of ObamaCare, and the second best is that he is not Marcia Coakley...but that I don't trust Massachusetts Republicans any farther than I can throw them.

This is not to trash the man, more like saying a New England Republican is moderate until proven conservative (if ever).

Celebrate the win, celebrate the 41, but prepare for disappointments here and there.

This is not to trash the man, more like saying a New England Republican is moderate until proven conservative (if ever).

My point has always been that the GOP is a big tent, but we need to make is perfectly clear who is the musicians (conservatives), fire breathers (culture warriors), contortionists (RINO/moderate), animal tamers (fiscal conservatives), and clowns (Ron Paul & Co). They are all part the show and they all play to their part of the audience. But the ringmaster doesn't usually come from the ranks of the clowns or the side shows.
