He's only been a senator for a week but the drumbeat already has begun for Scott Brown to run for president in 2012.
After the Massachusetts Republican captured the seat previously held by Ted Kennedy in an upset election last month, ending the Democrats supermajority in the Senate, Brown's supporters have launched a Facebook page devoted to discussing a potential presidential bid.
They've also scooped up several "Scott Brown for President" domain names, including scottbrown2012.com, scottbrown2016.com and scottbrownforpresident.com -- a site that offers "Scott Brown for President" bumper stickers.
And a new Gallup poll ranks Brown fourth among 11 potential GOP presidential contenders who voters would like to see as the nominee.

No.
You want the Republican party to become pro abortion and choose a pro abortion President?
How many of you feel this way?
I will not support any GOP for POTUS who does not support these 4 premises:
1)Supports all but the most arcane gun rights
2)Will fight the Islamists fullbore
3)Is anti-abortion...genuinely 100% in favor of tossing out Roe by stacking the courts
4) Will never grant amnesty and will defend our borders and limit immigration to what we need and can assimilate
I’m with you.
Rush says this is the time to give no quarter to the enemy and he is correct.
Sure, let’t give Obama another term, while we wait for Scott Brown to get more “experience”.
Great idea! (sarc)
Another 90 days or so and Brown will be equally qualified as Obama to run for President. Moreso, given that he actually did a few things in his life before he became a Senator.
“You want a pro abortion president?”
We already HAVE a pro-abortion president, who is also pro-terrorist, anti-American and a communist.
Reagan was pro-life and he couldn’t/didn’t overturn Roe vs. Wade. McCain is pro-life, but is not conservative on anything else.
The president can effect fiscal policy, taxes, foreign policy, national security — do you want Obama or Brown to make those decisions?
Until Scott Brown won in MA, I couldn’t see any of the current potential GOP candidates have a real chance against Obama and the Dem machinery.
Some state senators are more equal than other state senators. Same goes for Illinois lawyers.
“I’ll vote for a paper bag with a face drawn on it to beat obama. “
Exactly. Focus should be on who has the best chance of beating Obama.
That was a yes, wasn’t it.
“Brown picked up the support of the Massachusetts Citizens for Life in this race, based on his position on issues including abortion, stem cells, and federal health legislation. He also opposes federal funding for abortion, supports strong parental consent rules for minors, and supports the ban on what opponents call partial-birth abortion.”

No. No pro-abortion Republican presidents. The Democrats already elect far too many infanticide-protecting chief executives; the last thing we need to do is get in on the act.
In a race for the Ted Kennedy seat of death, but not to replace the Republican party with a pro abortion agenda.
The man is pro abortion and he does not deny that, he ran on it.
Hope not. Wouldn’t want anyone who believes in murdering our unborn anywhere near the White House.
Are you in favor of a pro-abortion president? What do you think Obama is? If the GOP doesn’t field a candidate who can beat him, we will just get more of Obama.

The man describes himself as Pro-Choice.
Palin / Brown I might be able to support once I see more of how he votes.
You should realize that you are on a conservative, pro life, web site, no one here voted for Obama.
We aren’t Democrats so you can’t try the claim that Brown is less pro abortion than the other Democrat.
You are clearly pro abortion, and you desire that the Republicans (for some odd reason) anoint this one week old Senator as our new pro abortion hero that will free us from our pro life party platform.
