To contrast Scott with Coakley, I was working in my driveway in Norfolk, MA, when Scott came jogging up, introduced himself as a Republican, and said, " I'm running (literally) to be your Representative." (He jogged to every house in the district!)I said, "there's a Constitutional question I'd like to ask", and he volunteered, "I'm a Major in the Army Guard -- and I carry!"
Bingo!!
After a few minutes of conversation, I asked (for the first time in my life) for one of his signs to put in my yard. I actively supported him as long as I was in MA. And I never regretted it!!!
As far as I'm concerned, Scott Brown is top-notch! I wish him every success -- from here in the Northeast Texas Piney Woods...
Too bad I can't vote in that election -- but I'll stay here in God's Country, thanks... '-)
So, you see, I've been a ScottB supporter starting with his very first campaign. (FWIW, I was one of those who, early on, suggested to him that he run for this US Senate opening). [I refuse to call it, "Kennedy's seat"...] And, at his request, I've been quietly "pulling strings" via this medium ever since Scott decided to "go for it"...
