Sounds like we'll be seeing more of Scott Brown here in NH should he act upon his curiosity.

Something just turns me off about a politician moving to another state just to run for office.

I totally agree!

Jack McMullen moved from Mass to Vermont to run for office. He was beat in the primary by Fred Tuttle, elderly farmer. Fred Tuttle immediately dropped out of the race and endorsed Senator Leahy. McMullen did not take the hint and kept running for office and has never won. Was pretty damn comical and was a national new story at the time!

It's hard to walk away from a privileged lifestyle.

To be clear, the article I tried to link to above was about Scott Brown possibly making a run for President. If he were to do that we'd see a lot more of him because of the primary (obviously).

I doubt he'll move to NH to run for the Senate but that's just my gut talking.

Looks like my gut was wrong. Good thing I have the guts to admit it. ;-)

I like liberty minded candidates. That is not Scott Brown. Basically, I see Brown as a big government Republican.

I'll pass.

He's a big government progressive. He's hardly a republican.

The dolt who is in office now votes my way zero percent of the time....that's 0%. I'll get about 60% out of Brown. In the current "purple" NH I'll take Brown. Not thrilled about it, but the reality is NH is fast slipping away & you can no longer elect someone like Gordon Humphrey or Bob Smith.....that dog don't hunt up this way any longer.
