Former U.S. Sen. Scott Brown told the Herald he is exploring a possible 2016 presidential bid today as he hit a well-worn stomping ground for Oval Office hopefuls – the Iowa State Fair. “I want to get an indication of whether there’s even an interest, in Massachusetts and throughout the country, if there’s room for a bi-partisan problem solver,” said Brown, who has been meeting with top republicans nationally and last week hosted a Fenway event for Republican National Committee members. Brown indicated he isn't close to deciding whether he will run. “It’s 2013 I think it’s premature, but I am curious. There’s a lot of good name recognition in the Dakotas and here – that’s pretty good.” Brown rose to national prominence after his surprise win in the 2010 special election for the U.S. Senate over Attorney general Martha Coakley. He lost the seat to U.S. Sen. Elizabeth Warren in 2012, but he has recently kept the door open to many races including the 2014 Bay State gubernatorial and a U.S. Senate bid in New Hampshire

Wonder why he doesn’t just endorse Jebbie out front?

The GOP has a death wish.The party could go down in flames in 2014 for not standing effectively for anything really but the success of the Democrats! The good and the bad will be punished equally by uninformed voters.

So let me get this straight...is Scott Brown exploring a run for President or not ?
To: GeronL
As has been often said, Scott Brown was a conservative - by mASS standards.
While I prefer him to other Dems and a few Pubbies, I will vote pro-life and financially conservative.
Makes it very hard for him to win conservatives anywhere.

Yeah, Scott would make such a handsome vice-president. My heart is going flutter-flutter. Now, who would could be the presidential nominee? How about President Jeb Bush?
