As if Democrats needed anything else to worry about, there is the New Hampshire situation.
Former naked Senate person Scott Brown enjoyed being a senator. What’s not to like? You get to work in the World’s Greatest Deliberative Body and deliberate until the cows come home. Then he lost a reelection bid to Elizabeth Warren in 2012 and couldn’t be a senator anymore. So he moved to New Hampshire and said, sure, this is good enough, I’ll be a senator from here. New Hampshire is a blue state — redder than some other New England states, sure — and his challenger, Sen. Jeanne Shaheen, is relatively popular up there.
Well guess what, Scott Brown may win it anyway. A New England College poll released yesterday showed Brown ahead by about 1 percentage point. A SurveyUSA poll before that showed Brown only down by 2. Most other polls before that had Shaheen somewhere between 5 and 10 percentage points up. Maybe these two polls, showing a tightening race, are just outliers. Maybe they’re not.
Scott Brown doesn’t matter, in terms of Senate control. If Scott Brown wins in New Hampshire, that probably means that the Democrats have already well and truly lost the Senate. If Scott Brown wins, then Cory Gardner, Joni Ernst, Thom Tillis, David Perdue, Mitch McConnell, Pat Roberts, Mike Rounds, Tom Cotton, Bill Cassidy, Dan Sullivan, Shelley Moore Capito, and Steve Daines (the Republican Montana guy) will also have won. It will have already been a blowout by the time naked Scott Brown and his red truck pull into the Senate parking lot.

Salon and Slate are nuthouses.
Maybe Mr. Newell will be pulling the lever, so to speak, for Mr. Brown too.
Now they don’t like carpet baggers? I bet this author worships at Hillary’s cankles.
How on Earth did the GOP let this nitwit represent us there?
“Brown was smart enough to hit the immigration issue, and that’s why he may pull this out.”
What Brown says and what he does are very much two different things. If her were to win, he would back peddle on immigration faster than you could say immigration.
And he would “reach across the isle” to work with Dems to create new Assault Weapons Ban legislation.
In Nov. I will be writing in Bob Smith for Senate here in NH.
A hard rain is going to fall (on Democrats). I would sure like to see Franken (Moron-MN) lose.
Jim Newell, like other liberals, sneers at Americans who want secure borders and a competent government that puts them first.
He hasn’t a clue - if Brown arrives to the Senate party, the GOP will have won a historic majority because people can’t stand Obama who is becoming less and less popular with them every passing day.
Liberals are pointing fingers and blaming Americans for their failures instead of owing up and taking responsibility for the mess they made on their watch. And Americans quite frankly are sick and tired of it.
“everything on Salon.com is like that”
Yes.
And salon.com is also one of my favorite uberliberal sites where I duplicate comments that I perfect here first.
My posts drive them crazy; usually the best they can do is hurl insults and name-calling, to which I respond with things like:
“I’m overwhelmed with the level of contribution you make to the discourse.”
or
“Ah yes, insults and name-calling, the highest form of discourse for a “Progressive”, still I give you points for spelling “moron” correctly”.
First, Scott Brown has been a property owner in NH longer than Shaheen. Secondly, this campaign and the style is a calculated test of styles and approaches, where the outcome is nearly certain at the outset, for the 2016 presidential race. It could be Romney, a close advisor and friend of Brown.
I too feel the approach is weak but if one understands the electorate in NH and generally throughout USA, although more conservative than the average lefty, have some liberal preferences. A conservative can not beat someone with conservatism when all they know is liberalism. We often think of Reagan as the arch conservative, but he was not. He was pragmatic. He made deals with Tip Oneil. He was however much more conservative than Carter, in one major way, Reagan showed his love for USA. That is what the electorate will demand.
Two years of a more conservative and successful government will make it more likely that a conservative approach will win in 2016.

There is NO WAY I’m voting for Brown, since he’s not with me on every issue.
(imitation of Democratic troll on this site)
During the special election a few years ago the vote I cast for Brown was the first time in my adult life that I felt I could influence the nation. A vote for Brown was a vote to stop Obamacare. That felt good.
I would have to move 1,800 miles to have that feeling again.
Careful - there is a 'principles" army here that says that is no reason to vote for anyone - even if it allows a real hard-left whack job to win...
Er, Bob Smith did more than “reach across the aisle” when he publicly endorsed John Kerry for President in 2004.
Even after 12 years the petty stupidity of the Smith worshippers surprises me.
Please preface any other like minded posts of yours with a barf alert, idiot alert or purist alert or perhaps all three. Thank you for your cooperation.
Aren’t you tired of being told who to vote for by the GOPe? Aren’t you tired of being stabbed in the back by the likes of politicians like Brown?
Brown has no chance here in NH. We know about his back stabbing of the people who voted for him in Mass.
He really is not much different then Shitheen.
How many times do you think we are going to be fooled by the likes of Scott Brown? How many times do you think the conservitive voter is going to go to the dance only to be left there while the GOPe pol goes off arm and arm with the likes of Harry Reid?
My vote won’t make a difference with the voter fraud that occurs in NH anyway.
(WHEN) Scott Brown wins in New Hampshire, that probably means Democrats have already well and truly lost the Senate. .....then Republicans Cory Gardner, Joni Ernst, Thom Tillis, David Perdue, Mitch McConnell, Pat Roberts, Mike Rounds, Tom Cotton, Bill Cassidy, Dan Sullivan, Shelley Moore Capito, and Steve Daines (Montana) will also have won. It will have been a blowout by the time Sen Scott Brown and his red truck pull into the Senate parking lot.
This article sounds like it was written by a sixth grader.
She giggled like a scared sophmore in response......rejection dawned....the exclusive Senate Club membership out of her reach.
Scott came back smartly....w/ the stat showing Shaheen was a Dummycrat lock-stepper---voting w/ Obama some 99% of the time.
(FROM SHAHEEN'S OFFICIAL WEB SITE) “Commonsense immigration reform is the right thing for our economy and is long overdue,” Shaheen said. “The plan we passed today represents the right way forward. It puts the millions of undocumented immigrants who are already living in our country on a path toward citizenship, but not until after imposing strict penalties. And this plan will strengthen border security which will blunt the flow of persons entering our country illegally.”
=================================================
Among other atrocities, Shaheen voted: (1) to subsidize the blood-thirsty La Raza w/ an annual $100 million tax dollars...renewable every year, (2) to exempt latino office-holders from US laws for committing crimes in office.
God only knows what amnesty-loving Shaheen will do if reelected....votes for more and more ntl security threats as she sucks-up to the Third World's ambitions to overthrow the US govt.
