Scott Brown has his shortcomings
The understatement of the year. I wish we could get someone better. He has voted so many times with Obama that I forget he is a Republican. I guess him winning is better than Elizabeth but not by much.
“I wish we could get someone better.”
Sure . . . but we’re dealing with Mass. Whether we like it or not sometimes it’s all relative, and as a practical matter Scott Brown is about the best we’re going to get up there. Regardless of what one thinks about Scott Brown, he’s no Liz Warren.
If we get a Republican Senate and Republican President, his voting record will be better. Under Republican control of the Senate, many of those bills wouldn't have even reached the floor of the Senate. I'd rather have him representing the Peoples Republic of Massachusetts than someone to the left of John Kerry.
Republicans need to worry about picking up seats in more fertile ground. Why should Montana have two 'RAT senators. Prior to 2004 neither South Dakota nor North Dakota had a Republican senator. There's no excuse for letting states that voted for Republican presidential candidates in 1992, 1996, and 2008 elect DemocRAT senators.
