Is a solid Republican candidate good? Yes.
Is the habit of looking for family members of winners to run for other offices good? No.
They need to broaden the field to include as many realistic and reliable Republican candidates as possible. Running over to the nearest family members of candidates and office holders smacks of wanting to create dynasties. A “Kennedy Seat” should not seem to be replaced by a Republican dynasty.
Good for Mr. Brown winning the Senate Seat. But it should prevent anyone in his family from being considered.

I'm not aware the Browns have amassed some huge Kennedy or Bush sized fortune and had huge political tentacles going back generations.

If Bruce ran and won, a guy who owns a small business in a small town, joining his pickup owning brother in the Senate, I wouldn't exactly call that a dynasty.
