Scott Brown: Romney’s Comment ‘Not The Way I View The World’(denounces Romney comments)

[cal04]

Republican Sen. Scott Brown, who is locked in a tough race in Massachusetts, is distancing himself from Mitt Romney's declaration that 47 percent of Americans depend on government handouts.

"That’s not the way I view the world," Brown told The Hill. "As someone who grew up in tough circumstances, I know that being on public assistance is not a spot that anyone wants to be in. Too many people today who want to work are being forced into public assistance for lack of jobs."

Brown's Democratic challenger Elizabeth Warren also seized on Romney's remarks, caught on hidden video at a fundraiser in May.

“Romney just wrote off half the people in Massachusetts and half the people in America as deadbeats,” Warren told the Washington Post. “This is a separate category of contempt for half of our fellow citizens.”

8. That retching sounds you hear

Is Republican down-ticket candidates all over the country puking in their wastebaskets.

9. Scott Brown is a very clever politician...

He's always conscious not to go too far right in Massachusetts. And his supporters understand why he does it and are willing to go along with it because he gives them an extra number in the Senate. Democrats in MA need to vote for their Party over the person, simply because he is still a tool of the Republican Party, no matter how clever he might be on the issues...

23. Scott Brown is worried about the NEW poll numbers

Tuesday, September 18

Massachusetts Senate - Brown vs. Warren

Suffolk/7News

Warren 48, Brown 44 (Warren +4)

http://www.realclearpolitics.com/epolls/latest_polls/


Edited to add...

And there were also TWO polls released this past Sunday

...both released on Sunday, show Warren with slim leads over Republican Senator Scott Brown. The first, conducted by Western New England University's Polling Institute (WNEU) in partnership with the website MassLive.com, shows Warren leading by 6 percentage points (50 percent to 44 percent). A previous WNEU poll fielded in June had shown Warren with a narrower 2-point edge over Brown (45 percent to 43 percent). -snip-
