(20,176 posts)Let's put it this way...the only reason he won the first time was because Coakley ran no campaign whatsoever and he got some support from moderate Democrats because he ran as a fiscal moderate/social liberal under a tea-party banner...what we in New England used to call a liberal Republican. (see: Lowell Weicker, Lincoln Chafee)
Scott Brown cannot win a contested election against a decent foe. You act like MA Democrats are going to roll over and die screaming "The sky is falling!" rather than run a decent candidate. They have a deep bench.
MAGOP has one guy on their bench...a former Senator that just got trounced by 8% by a candidate that had never run for office before. Brown has as much chance of ever returning to the Senate as Rick Santorum has of being elected President.
Please stop, Chicken Little.
