Brownie- "you're a hell of a guy'

Just watched the CSAN debate, Seems Brown has succeeded in labeling her as a Harvard elite and himself as the good old home town boy.

Substance loses to style.

We talking about Moonbeam here?

[Filliam H. Muffman]

A good old home town boy that has gotten record campaign donations from Wall Street....

[Gutenberg]

We are talking about the U.S. Senate race between Scott Brown ® and Elizabeth Warren (D). Brown is working on the disaffected working class and it seems to be working.

[Lemon Drop]

Yeah but which one drives a pick-up.

That's gotta be the good one.

zero base = bad news, no matter how popular you are.

I don't think he can pull it off unless Obama gets smashed in the two subsequent debates.

All too true, if you aspire to a Senate seat without political bona-fides, the hole you begin with is a big one. I doubt either candidate is representative of the Massachusetts electorate but then I don't think either Presidential candidate is reflective of the electorate either.

I don't understand how so many more Massachusians vote for a Democratic president than senator.

You have to know the reactionary element that exists here in the state. Not too surprising having lived here for most of my life. Our Democratic Party is also very good at infighting, has split the vote many times over the years. Of course it didn't help that when Brown ran in the special election after Ted Kennedy died, his opponent ran like she felt entitled to the job. Also remember that our current governor is a Democrat after 16 years of Republicans ending with Mitt.
