John you realize that this argument makes Scotty not only the Senator from MA, but KY, TX, KS, SC, etc etc since he votes with Cruz, McConnell and Miss Lindsey

Shaheen is going to absolutely obliterate him. He’s completely a carpetbagger and he was a Senator from another state, like less than 2 years ago. He needs to own that issue and not pretend he’s not carpetbagging. People aren’t stupid and many of them probably remember him on TV ads running for the spot, again, less than 2 years ago.

This is really, really stupid. I understand the Rovian “attack the strength” strategy but when the strength you’re making into a weakness is unquestionably your own obvious weakness, it comes off as especially petty and insulting to voters’ intelligence. Also, I question using Sununu after his behavior in 2012. He didn’t help Romney at all, and made several fairly racist comments about the president. He was pretty much a net negative.

Mr Brown is just an old fashioned CARPETBAGGER. He assumes nobody has a memory longer than 20 minutes.

It occurs to me that Scott Brown always chooses to run against women. Why is that, I wonder? Does he just like beating up on women?

Shaheen, by the way, has lived in New Hampshire since 1973, and has served in its state legislature and as its governor before being elected to represent it in the US Senate.

And against that, Scott has, what? That he was “virtually” born in the state? Which only means that he wasn’t actually born there, only visited on summer vacation or something. Oh, except that his Wikipedia page says he spent his childhood summers in Newburyport, Mass. But hey, he has a second home in New Hampshire, so I guess that means he was “virtually” born there – in some alternate reality or something.

No kidding, and it’s just such a stupid thing to tout. Who cares where your senator was born? Neither of the two jackasses that represent KY were actually born here. Shaheen has been in the state for 40 years and served her constituents honorably. What is even the case for electing Scott Brown? Because he’s not a Democrat? This almost reminds me of Liz Cheney’s brief run for Senate. The only reason for the run isn’t because there’s something fundamentally wrong with Shaheen, it’s because he wants to be a senator and NH happens to be a neighboring state with a senator up for reelection. I can’t fathom why anyone would vote for that charlatan.
