This might help Scott Brown be re-elected in Massachusetts, but will hurt any chance of his being on the national ticket

He has as much chance of being on a national ticket as Olympia Snowe. He's a RINO and would dramatically hurt the GOP's chances in 2012.

Would not be surprised if he becomes a VP sometime .

No candidate is going to think about Brown being on a Presidential ticket. Who is going to want to alienate the base by putting a RINO on it, especially when he has no chance of winning Massachusetts anyway?

Obviously, Brown hasn't been in Washington very long. The Dems will say whatever he wants to hear, but it will all be vapor now that the Dems have their bill.

I think that Jimbo stated all that needs to be said.

Please don’t blame me for Scott Brown voting for the Financial Reform Bill.
Have you have lost your mind?

Then why are you saying you like him?
Are you an idiot?
Or maybe you lost your mind?

I disagree with his vote on Financial Reform, but Scott Brown is a likable guy who would probably win any election her runs in. I also like Marco Rubio.

Have you lost yours?

Scott Brown ran and won on less government, a major conservative principle. This major UN-CONSERVATIVE vote turns on the folks who elected him, and all of us.

On THIS site he is going to get a good and deserved raking over the coals. Likewise his defenders, such as yourself - especially when the best you can do is compare him to Snowe, Collins, and Democrats.

Indeed, I am surprised the ZOT has not yet come.

Scott Brown ran as a Scott Brown Republican, and never really campaigned with the Tea Party movement for the simple reason it would have backfired on him in liberal Massachusetts.

I think you are jealous because he is able to bicycle over 40 miles at his age.

How many more Republicans do we need to make the RINOs irrelevant?

Even in majority (and it seems not to matter how large), they always manage to kill good conservative legislation and advance big government and socialism.

That is why we don't like them.

In 2010 and 2012 we wish not to elect a majority of so-called moderates. Rather, we prefer to REALLY take our country back.

I have no understanding of those who like people who are destroying their country, their liberty and their posterity.

Sounds insane to me, and I've never been able to understand insane people.
