Teabaggers pick Carpetbagger in primary
The Republican/Teabagger element of the "Live Free Or Die" state, where no one says you have to be smart enough to tie a shoelace, picked that Prince of Fools Scott Brown of Massachusetts as their Senate candidate. As many of you may remember, Scott fled from Massachusetts when the voters realized he was just not smart enough for the Senate. Indeed, he turned out to be a walking male blonde joke.
Among the marquee races Tuesday was the primary in New Hampshire, in which Brown whittled away at the skepticism from New Hampshire Republicans that greeted his entrance into the race. Since then, party members have backed him in greater numbers as the most formidable candidate to unseat Shaheen.Scott was helped by the fact that his opponents in the primary would have had difficulty beating a stray dog for town dogcatcher. Now Scotty has to see if a less intelligent voter base will help him return to a life of leisure and just following orders.
Shaheen's lead over Brown has shrunk to single digits. A University of New Hampshire Survey Center poll had them a few points apart late last month, although more recent surveys have shown Shaheen with a larger lead.
Brown campaigned vigorously during the primary, holding town hall meetings with voters across the state. But while he trained his attacks on Shaheen, his Republican rivals pounded him as an outsider who was too close to special interests.
One GOP opponent, former state Sen. Jim Rubens, won the backing of the MAYDAY "super PAC," a political group that aims to lessen the influence of super PACs. The group put out mailers over the weekend claiming that Brown worked as a lobbyist for the Nixon Peabody law firm. Brown, who worked as a business and governmental affairs adviser for the firm, has threatened to sue the group over what he views as a false charge.
