Scott Brown For Senate

Sissy Willis has turned optimistic about Scott Brown's chances for capturing Ted Kennedy's Senate seat.

Is Massachusetts GOP senatorial candidate Scott Brown finally getting it? The Tea Party Movement, with its growing arsenal of media and social networking tools, including talk radio, Twitter and Facebook, could help propel him onto the national stage as a major player "knocking down the Dems ahead of schedule," as Right Klik colorfully headlines a link-rich blogpost. We were encouraged to see the Bay State Senator's tweet (above) picking up on Bill Kristol's suggestion last week — blogged here yesterday — that Brown's senate race be framed as a "referendum on Obamacare." As the Boston Globe reported this afternoon, "Brown blasted his Democratic rival in the US Senate race today for her support of a national health care plan that Brown says would raise taxes and fees on Massachusetts residents and businesses without providing any benefits":

I could be the 41st senator that could stop the Obama proposal that's being pushed right now through Congress," Brown… said at a news conference in the state Republican Party's headquarters in downtown Boston. "I could stop it and they could bring it back to the drawing board."

We may be about to witness one of the biggest upsets in Massachusetts electoral history.  How huge would that be!

Thanks for the link and your thoughts. I've added your comments at my blog in an update. :)

Why would anyone with "libertarian leanings" support Scott Brown over the TRULY "libertarian leaning" candidate that will be on that ballot on Jan. 19th?

SB is just another big-government RINO, who supports junk like RomneyCare whole-heartedly. JK is a member of the national Libertarian Party, and active in Ron Paul's Campaign for Liberty. What more do you need to know?

And with a name like "Joe Kennedy" - he could actually WIN in Massachusetts! :-)

Well, we're choosing between long shot libertarian purity and a realistic chance to elect the 41st vote against nationalized health care. You make the call, Bill.

what do you mean limited GOP support?????? every Republican I know is sending money into Scott Brown to help pay for his ads? Hello! You has been in DC fighting for you re health care? The Republicans!

it's interesting that many teapartiers consider the GOP their enemy...it would be nice to see teapartiers put down their egos and join up with the Republicans....now that would be a machine!

Voters of Mass, please wake up and support Scott Brown for your senator, He is a conservative republican and can make a big,big difference. I'm from Arizona and will sending him a cash donation."We" have our chance to get ridded of a senator who want to spend our country into the ground and cause all other types of harm. Please vote her out and put Brown in office,he can't be any worse,and maybe,he will do what he promises.

Next Tuesday when Mr. Brown wins (and he will) it will be the Scott heard round the world!

Are you listening Congress?

God works in mysterious ways. This election will be God's message to those who would ignore the ten commandments and instead resort to the 7 deadly sins to accomplish their goals. Go Scott Brown.

Joe, please counter Obama on Sunday and throw your support to Brown. I'm a proud conservative and you would do us all proud with this move. Please
