Well, I think what it amounts to is that Scott will not get all those donations he received last time from out-of-state conservatives. Quite a few Freepers said they sent him money.
And I certainly wouldn’t give him a dime now. There are better things to spend the money on. But, if I lived in Mass., I’d probably vote for him over the alternative.
He has built up quite a warchest though and keep in mind
some moderates may send him money even if conservatives don’t.
Are there more moderates (and liberals) in MA than
conservatives? Check out the results of the last election.
Other than some pickups in the state legislature, the GOP
got creamed. Even with promising candidates. This is MA.
I think he pledged to serve only a term or two (whether or not he breaks that pledge like Cong. Meehan did I don’t know, though for now I trust him). When that happens barring any fresh young GOP talent coming to succeed him, the seat will fall back into the hands of the mooooooooooooooooonbats.
