If Scott Brown has kept President Obama up at night, there could be more sleepless nights at the White House thanks to a new poll that ranks the senator-elect as presidential timber.

A Newsmax/Zogby poll shows the Massachusetts Republican within striking range of Obama in a hypothetical presidential matchup.

The poll shows the pair statistically deadlocked if the presidential election were held today.

Speechless doesn’t even begin to explain it. If these numbers are correct, the electorate hasn’t learned a thing, not that I really thought they would.

Well sir, if those things are true, he’s not fit to carry the conservative banner in 2012.

I think an awful lot of people are treating Scott Brown like they did Obama . . . they are projecting their own hopes onto him.

Exactly. And how many know that he's pro-abortion?

I'm happy that he won here in MA. It's about the best we can do for conservatives here (although it is possible to elect pro-life candidates like Steve Lynch). If his election has killed the deathcare bill, then his election has already been justified.

But we can't have a pro-abortion national presidential candidate, nor a pro-abortion VP candidate, since the VP would be the logical successor to a Republican president.

This Scott Brown stuff is somewhat annoying. We have no idea what kind of Senator he will be. It seems as though the left is trying to set him up for a narcissist fall. Unfortunately, this will not work. He was ushered in as a mandate against Obama. The fact that it is Massachusetts that booted Obamacare out is just a little to much for the Marxists to understand.

Can we stop this and let Brown serve as a Senator first? We aren’t the dems.

Scott Brown has never lost an election.Scott Brown has more on the ball than any republican out there right now and would very easy to digest in any part of the country.

Unlike Obama nad Clinton he is more liked the more you know him.
Go Scott Go!

If Brown is not pro life then he shouldn’t be our nominee.

Wait, there's more! They're going to give him a Nobel prize.........

Well, he already took a bite out of Deval Patricks ass today asking him why he hasn’t spent the money from the stimulus he was given for creating jobs in the state.
Because Scott knows this Obama lite criminal will spend it for political purposes.

Scott Brown should not be considered for anything except learning his Senatorial responsibilities for his state. A wealth of information will be made available to him. As a Lt. Colonel I hope he will be able to discern it well. All of this catapulting is a lefty deal.

Good! He needs to make friends with the conservative leadership and take his place as the junior Senator from Massachusetts. His vote is very important, and he knows it.

If he shows up even once inperson for a senate vote, he’ll have more experience than Zero did.
Zeros entire senate career was voting “present”.

I strongly agree with both of you. I'm happy he won, but I do not like a blind faith and perception of politicians.

One thing I learned early of people is they project their understanding of themselves upon others and honestly expect the same return. That is the proverbial box that you fight. If you see that box then as we say to the Fat Lady, Game Over.

Exactly, very well-put. You can see that become very predominant with politicians and people's perception of them. Especially when a party is in a minority position and feels 'beat up'.

What? Huckabee caused McCain to be the nominee for the republican party.
That and New Hampshire allowing anyone to vote with just a claim,,
anyone who claims, will live in that state!

LISTEN UP AND DON'T FORGET IT,,,
The Republican party REFUSED to change the primary date after the Rats
Changed their date in NH. The GOP failed to protect the voting process from FRAUD!
The Rats choose McCain and he knows it, I know it, and the GOP knows it..


Brown is a nobody and he should stay that way until he earns his up-in-comins.... two terms.
