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.

Shouldn’t the author, Jim Newell, be listed?
Not a fan of Scott Brown. But he is better than Shaheen.
I am simply stunned there is not more “carpet bagger” stuff going on.
I was at my Mom’s place in VT the other day and they run NH Political ads out of Burlington VT’s TV Stations. I thought Brown’s ads were pretty weak.
But, I hope the people in NH vote for him. I never liked her.
Yes. I usually do that. Posting too fast I guess. My apologies.
Some would say that a nasty, snarky article like this is also an omen.
I can smell the donkeys squeal and I see November from my house.
Brown was smart enough to hit the immigration issue, and that’s why he may pull this out.
The ‘spelling bee’ ad from American Crossroads has people in stitches all across soviet Red Hampshire...even women are laughing at it...
Liberals weren’t to concerned about carpetbaggers when the Hildebeast won New York!!!
Yes.. I did get a chuckle out of that one. He is running another one that was on all the time...and I cannot remember it.
Oh they handled that issue very deftly. They simply pointed out that Sir Edmund Hillary would have been a New Yorker if he had been born in New York instead of in New Zealand. About 99% of New York women bought that argument.
“Not a fan of Scott Brown. But he is better than Shaheen.”
Eyez on the prize. It’s about numbers....
The ONLY candidate running at the Congressional level in Red Hampshire (House and Senate) is the loathsome Anne Kuster...all others are 'out of staters'...even the Governor is 'from away'...
(I know that isn't exactly 'carpetbagging', but when half the people in this state are from somewhere else; it might be a topic better left buried.)
That is a clever ad.
“That’s close enough..” LOL!
That’s a damn shame. I live in Mass but I own property in Vermont. That place has been in my family for 100 years. It is stunning to see how the folks from Mass, Ny, and CT are wrecking the state. I am sure NH is dealing with the same stuff.
Good luck.
Listed as criminally insane, maybe.
Check out his previous articles.
The abuse just doesn't stop with this guy -- or maybe everything on Salon.com is like that.
He does sound a lot like some RINO hunters I've run into, though.
I've lived in both states...hard to tell the difference anymore. :-(
