'bout time we got a poll with Jones! I'm more inclined to believe this than others here, in part because Strange and Moore both suck and in part because of my optimism and memory of Scott Brown
This is probably the biggest myth I've seen about Scott Brown's win. MA isn't elastic enough that a Republican could win in a GE year, which is why Elizabeth Warren won in 2012. In 2010 Scott Brown got less votes than Romney did in 2012, and still won by a healthy 5 point margin. Scott Brown won in 2010 because of extremely low turnout. If the MA gubernatorial race were held on a regular year we'd hardly ever elect Republican governors either.
