Scott Brown got elected in a “wave year.” Personally, I think he’s good as as gone if the Democrats run a strong candidate against him.

The people here in Mass. who voted for Scott Brown are not the folks that he can count on anymore after his brief record in the Senate.

He has to go even further left if he wants to get reelected.

Does not look good for Mr. Brown from here, but the polls say he is the most popular politician in the Commonwealth.

What happens in Blue States is that Republican candidates are so demonized that they are not likely to win.

But when they do win- examples- Pataki, Giuliani, Cristie, Reagan, many others, when the public sees the real governance, and not the defamation from the Democrats and the media, they become popular enough to win again.

Brown is popular and may fit that template.

I think you are right. Rumor has Deval Patrick running against him. And with Obama at the top of the ticket, Brown will have an uphill battle.

For those unfamiliar, Charlie Baker was the GOP dream for the past 10 years (always snubbing getting in). And he finally did, and got beat pretty bad. Mass is a cesspool of unions, academia and gubmint dependents. I had hope last January; no longer. Brown needs to move full time to his NH home and run against Shaheen in 2014. We are now a solid red state.
