Voters have soured on President Obama. National and statewide trends favor Republicans. And here in his new home state, Scott Browns truck is gaining speed.
Analysts and recent polls have found Brown closing in on US Senator Jeanne Shaheen, the Democratic incumbent he is vying to unseat, in a race that has become increasingly nasty and expensive.
Once largely dismissed by critics as an unlikely second act in a state he moved to only last year, Browns Senate bid is increasingly seen as a plausible path back to the US Capitol.
Observers see a race that may be largely determined not by Brown, a top-notch retail campaigner, or by Shaheen, a popular, longtime elected official, but by the national mood.
In wave elections, as people find out, you can have been a good candidate and done a good job for your constituents and still find yourself swept out, said Steve Duprey, New Hampshires Republican national committeman. If theres a national tide, it will roll here too.
On the stump and in TV ads, Brown constantly ties Shaheen to Obama, who has a job approval rating of just 38 percent among likely New Hampshire voters, according to one poll released this week. The former Massachusetts senator rarely misses an opportunity to express his dismay that Shaheen votes in lockstep with the president or to nationalize the race, speaking about issues such as immigration and the threat from the burgeoning militant group in Iraq and Syria.
Shaheen, a onetime governor, repeatedly underscores her local achievements for the state from working to protect a shipyard from closure and to helping veterans get easier access to health care. She attacks Brown as more keen on boosting his own career than aiding New Hampshire.

Also look at Illinois for poor choices!
Typical choices are:
Not so good.
Slow death.
Dead by morning.
votes not cast are not counted
AND your support for pro gun control, pro gay, pro abortion Scoot Brown, D, Carpet bagger from mASS says volumes about you....
Please go back to DU where you came from...
He may not have voted the way others would like on one or more issues, but he has not declared war on a wing of the party or back-stabbed another's good intentions.
If all that Brown has done is vote his conscience in a manner consistent with what he said he would do, then I would not advocate against his election.

If a contest is between a Republican and a Democrat and there are 10 voters, 5 Republicans and 5 Democrats, what are the possible outcomes? If all the Republicans vote Republican and all the Democrats vote Democrat, the race is a tie and its decided on a coin flip.
If one of the Republicans votes for the Democrat, or if that Republican stays home and doesnt vote, the Democrat wins. The same scenario applies in reverse if a Democrat voter does the same.
Your behavior helps Democrats, thats the part that I understand.

If you have other proofs please show them.
I don’t care about party labels any more. Too many “Republicans” would fit in fine with the other party, Scott Brown is one of them.
NB: ‘Tis impossible to argue with ignorance nor dogma!’
“That’s all I can stands ‘cuz I can’t stands no more’’.
I live in The Peoples Republic of New Jersey. Ruled over by Chris Christie, a fat-ass Lou Costello look-a-like f’ing RINO. I’m a former liberal and it seems the party I have always thought was one of limited government,less taxes, believed in family values such as marriage is between a man and a woman and a military second to none. It’s seems however the Republican Party has now morphed into some kind of Democrat Lite.
While I wish that Scott Brown were more conservative, i will vote for him rather than give the Democrats 6 more years of a controlled vote in the Senate. Jeanne Shaheen votes 98% of the time with her party,
She is on video claiming that with Obamacare that everyone would be able to keep their insurance and their doctors... Incompetence or just blatant lying?
Scott Brown is better than Ayotte.
Ayotte vs Tea Party 2016 will be a replay of Shaheen vs Brown.
Brown is good on amnesty, affirmative action, Sotomayor, Kagan, UN guns ban and impeaching Eric Holder.
Brown is after the white women vote not hispanics(Ayotte has some delusion that any of the candidates who could win the primary would pick her as VP).
Brown is more trustworthy on immigratoin than Perry, Jindal, Walker, Sen. Ron Johnson, Nikki Haley and a bunch of people who are so called conservatives.
Howie Carr rants about illegal aliens and moonbat liberals and Brown still goes on his show. I thought Brown was the
He’s a Pete Wilson or Lou Barletta style RINO. Freebies for constituents and donors and deportation for illegals.
Scott Brown is his own kind of RINO.
The problems are the red state RINOs who support amnesty. Half the GOP Senate and half the GOP Governors are more liberal than Brown on immigration.
Why does Brown get more hate than Jindal or Rick Perry. Both pretend to oppose amnesty.
The main conservative Brown deals with is radio host Howie Carr, who mentions illegals every third sentence.
