Tea Party activists are now talking openly about backing a Republican primary challenger against Mass. Sen. Scott Brown.
"I think the significance of that is –- I don’t know if he’ll get a primary challenge or survive in 2012 - but that is what every Republican in the Senate and the House up for re-election in 2012 has to be thinking about," said Salon's Steve Kornacki. "It’s going to have that threat hovering over them on every key vote for the next two years."

Brown voted against the dream act which is the most important vote. As such he is the best you will get from the Bay State.
None of this matters - it’s a complete waste of time.
Brown ran like a scared bunny rabbit from the Boston Globe, and in order to pander to that newspaper he turned and peed all over the conservative base that elected him when his only hope was to solidify that base and stand tall. But now that base will shrug and stay home for the next election (in two years). Brown is toast. I hope conservatives (including tea party people) don’t waste a lot of time, money, and effort in a toilet like Massachusetts. Go where there’s hope.
Brown hasn’t voted 50 percent con.
And people on Mass. Thought he was a TP persom.
Screw Brown
Brown being hardcore Conservative and/or TeaParty was a dis-information campaign put out by Rats. How anyone could of lived thru the primaries, not to mention his voting record and platform and thought he was anything other than a middle of the road RINO is unfathomable.
But in a State where the legislature is 85% Dem and as the only Republican member of the Congregational delegation. Even with all the backlash not one Dem lost a Congressional bid in Mass. And people want to spend money here to unseat Brown.
As for probable Dem Challengers. Mike Capuano has voted with his Dem colleages 98.1% of the time. And is listed as more liberal than 90% of Congress. (as compared to Brown’s reported voting with Rep’s 81% according to the Washington Post)
I doubt he votes 81% with CONSERVATIVES.
