NH-Sen: Scott Brown's flirtation

[SWE]

I hope he runs, it'd be satisfying to see him lose two elections in the span of only two years.

[SWE]

Glorious news!

The horrific Barrycare will thrash Shaheen repeatedly Alex sink style.

Is Barrycare a better candidate than Scott Brown?

A statue of George Washington would be a better candidate than Scott Brown

If Brown wanted to get back in the Senate this badly, why didn't he just run in the special election against Markey? He would've been the favorite there, but against Shaheen he's a distinct underdog.

Well, he would have had to run 4 campaigns for Senate in MA over 4 years.

Then why not just run for governor?

Favorite against Markey in Massachusetts? You've got to be kidding me.

He obviously wouldn't be the favorite, but a at least there he'd have a chance

[SWE]

Wow. I genuinely did not at all think that Brown would really go for it. I didn't think he was smarter than this, necessarily, but I did think he was lazier--or, to be charitable, more tired.

I still don't think this'll go that well for him. The primary against Bob Smith, assuming it happens, is going to be glorious.

If he were to lose the primary to Smith, he can always run against Hassan in '16.

Or he could move to Vermont and lose to Patrick Leahy

By not being Scott Brown?

[SWE]

He wins the primary, Shaheen wins in November by double digits. Which would be a rather pathetic end to a once-promising career, IMO.

Really? I thought that the lower turnout and more savvy voters would help him out.

An incumbent with +15 approval ratings is not going to lose to a carpet bagger with a -10 approval

Clearly being born in Maine makes Scott Brown qualified to run in NH

[SWE]

any chance Scott Brown comes out with a statement that says "tee hee, just kidding! I'm not really going to run fro Senate in somebody else's state." ? 

No chance at all. This is a good thing for republicans, as Brown is consistently polling better against Shaheen than the other republican candidates are (Former NH Sen. Robert Smith, Former NH State Sen. Jim Rubens, and Perennial Candidate Andy Martin).

Polling better than people nobody's heard of isn't a huge distinction.

[SWE]

Remember when we thought this was competitive?

When?

Scott Brown is literally encouraging his supporters to commit voter fraud:

He's not from New Hampshire, so I really don't see why his voters should be.
