Brown is currying favor with the MA Dem establishment he will have to deal with after he loses the election. He’s an opportunist who used the Tea Party to advance himself personally and knows the odds of winning in Kennedy’s district another time are slim to none unless he either goes major RINO or the Dems manage to throw another Coakley at him.
A conservative WILL NOT WIN in Massachusetts. It won’t happen. So here are Scott Brown’s options....vote and act like a conservative and lose to a Democrat in two years, or vote and act like a moderate, and maybe (just maybe) win in two years.
So the question is, would you rather have a guy you votes your way 50% of the time in two years, or a guy who votes your way none of the time?
