It's hard to believe but it was barely 5 years ago that Scott Brown won the special election in Massachusetts to take "Ted Kennedy's seat" and stunned the local Democrats - as well as the nation.

I volunteered for his campaign and attended a rally for him in Worcester in mid January of 2010 and it was a frenzied scene. This was when the Tea Party was starting to gain some legs and Scott Brown was at one time associated with that movement. I managed to get into the hall to hear his speech but there were many more outside listening over loudspeakers.

This ad was typical of the energy that surrounded that campaign. It's kind of sad to watch it now due to his disappointing performance once in the senate. Let's hope that he gets it right this second time.

These days I reside in Southern Connecticut so cannot participate in the election this time but I wish him well in his efforts to unseat incumbent Democrat Shaheen and once back in, learn from his mistakes the first time around.

Was that at Mechanics Hall? I recall being at a huge rally I believe was there, for Scott. It was insanity!
