A lot of tea party folks would not vote for Brown, because he was squishy on gun rights.
I know a Christians who would not vote for him because of his pro-abort, pro-gay positions.
He wasn’t my favorite candidate, but I felt I was voting strategically by voting for him.
My more principled brethren would not budge, however.
Having a weakling like Brown at the top of the Republican ticket probably hurt everything down-ticket, too.
Howie Carr tried real hard to gin-up support for him, but a lot of good, principled people are figuring it’s got to get worse before it can get better, and they’re willing to bite the bullet to do it.
I wouldn’t vote for Scott Brown either, if I lived in such a commie state that a leftwinger was the best it could do, I would start the moving process
