Consumer advocate Elizabeth Warren’s likely entry into the U.S. Senate race in Massachusetts could re-energize Tea Party support for Sen. Scott Brown, whose moderation in Washington has deeply disappointed the conservative grassroots movement that swept him to office in early 2010. “I think she has the capacity to do that,” said Christen Varley, head of the Greater Boston Tea Party, who described Brown’s relationship with the Tea Party as “tense.”

Give it to Warren and she will still be there 40 years from now like Kennedy. Like it or not Brown gives the GOP control of the Senate. Defeating Brown out of childish spite and hurt feelings is self defeating
You are right about Warren. Elect more conservatives; then it won’t matter if Brown is there or not. Then get rid of Brown. He doesn’t deserve to serve just as Warren doesn’t deserve to serve.
Amen! He votes with the GOP, what, 50% of the time? On bills that don’t matter?
This is the sort of thing that will destroy the tea party. Scott Brown was a compromise in the first place and now tea partiers there will have to do some soul searching and decide whether they will compromise again.
If it were me, I would probably vote for him but keep all references to the tea party out of it.

Ah, we won’t get anything better out of Massachusetts until 2040, or however long it takes the poductive people there to move out.
So you would rather the US Senate continue under Harry Reid’s leadership? You would rather the next US Senator from Massachusetts be a John Kerry clone?
Fool me once, shame on you. Fool me twice, shame on me.
Defeating Brown would not be out of childish spite and hurt feelings.
Fool me once, SHAME ON YOU! Fool me twice, SHAME ON ME!
I’m asking what others think. Please refrain from sarcastic.... So you would rather crap.
American Conservative Union gives Brown a 74% rating. They give Kerry a 0%. So you would rather the next US Senator from Massachusetts vote with the GOP 0% rather then 74%?
We could use some productive people (Preferably rural types) in Michigan to help keep our rightward momentum going. Things are far from perfect here but we’ve taken the first steps and seized near total control of the state government. RINO types need not apply.

I certainly do not wish for a continuation of Reid as leader. But, reelecting Scott Brown won’t have much effect unless, of course, there are enough new republicans elected to shift the balance. Even then Brown seems to be no help on the issues we value.
Scott Brown (who voted for the treaty with Russia, and the new financial) doesn’t deserve to be re-elected we know what we get with a commie. He owes me $50.
I have nothing but contempt for Scott Brown.
Will Brownie be a “bad weather friend?”
This is probably the best news Brown got all year. He will look like a Conservative next to this loser. Might help him win again.
