If Brown had a shred of integrity he would have refused help from Sarah Palin and/or the Tea Parties.
He took their support under false pretenses.
Stop right there! :->
I don't know if he refused it, or if she withheld it on her own, but Our Lady of Wasilla was not involved in the Brown campaign.
Again, Scott Brown was elected by (mostly left-wing) "independent" women, and since they as a group DESPISE Sarah, her support could have cost him the election.
