Well, that’s a relief. Such a Conservative stalwart on all but the really important issues.

From today’s WaPo:

Sen. Scott Brown (R-Mass.) penned a letter to Republican National Committee Chairman Reince Preiebus urging more inclusiveness on the issue of abortion in the party?s 2012 platform. ?Media reports indicate that the Platform Committee will consider draft language opposing a woman?s right to choose and supporting a constitutional amendment banning abortion.  I believe this is a mistake because it fails to recognize the views of pro-choice Republicans like myself,? Brown wrote.

If you know of a pro-life Republican politician who can win a statewide election in Massachusetts, I’d like to support him too.

Beats Teddy Kennedy. The libs think Warren is their next Obama. She must be stopped. I’m all for 100% die-in-the-wool conservative candidate in the states where they are realistically electable, provided they can answer simple questions about their positions without turning themselves into a national joke.

Do you understand this is a MASSACHUSETTS seat? Would you prefer to have Warren, a flaming liberal as the Senator from that State or Brown who will vote with the Republicans the majority if not every time?

There is NO CHANCE, NONE, NADA of a “Conservative” getting elected in that State in the foreseeable future. Politics being what it is you take what you can get and get it anyway you can within the law.

It's more than just numbers in the Senate although they are important. Taking control also means committee chairs, and deciding what and when legislation comes to the floor for a vote.
