They've got ownership of the Federal government this time, and under Obama's Marxist policies, they get to reap and realize the "rewards" in their march towards Marxism. The difference.
I like Scott Brown, as much as people complain about the guy, he’s the sort of Republican that can win in the Northeast and while he might not be there for all the issues, he’ll be there on a lot of them. He’s very laidback, disarming and he plays politics like a pro. His big advantage over Warren is that he’s actually from the area, he knows the people, he knows the culture, the traditions, one of the earlier storylines was that he was showing up at various local events, even in area’s where people aren’t likely to vote for him, glad-handing everyone while Warren was nowhere to be seen.
He’s basically giving people no reason to dislike him, even if they oppose him, he’s not polarizing and that is what it takes to win in Massachusetts.
