Don't Forget Scott Brown

Yes, I know. He voted now and again in ways that have pissed all of us off. But take a look at this piece from the Boston Herald. He's voted with Republican leadership 75% of the time--the "other" Senator in Massachusetts--John Kerry--voted with Democratic leadership 97% of the time. Indeed, he is among the most moderate of Republicans in the Senate, right there with his neighbors from Maine. But he votes with the Republican caucus. He's yet another vote toward control of the Senate. Dead-enders can turn against him because he didn't turn out to be a perfect Tea Party candidate--but that is not a strategically sound decision. You'd rather have Elizabeth Warren, perhaps? Support Scott Brown. Contribute. Today.
The Conservative Wahoo
The Blog: A compendium of thoughts on politics, world affairs, economics, pop culture and social issues, from the center right perspective of me--Bryan McGrath--a University of Virginia graduate who spent a career in the world's greatest Navy keeping my mouth shut about politics and social issues (ok, publicly keeping it shut). Those days are over! Pull up a chair and chime in where you will. Keep it clean, civil, concise and relevant.
The Fish: The fish is a "coat of arms" for the blog, symbolizing three formative influences in the life of the blog founder. The first is his experience at the University of Virginia--symbolized most importantly by the fish itself, or a caricature of a "Wahoo", the fish we have acquired as an informal nickname. Additionally there is the sword, the sword of a Cavalier. It is not wielded in a threatening manner, as this is a civil blog. But it is there, should it be needed. Thirdly, there is the influence of 21 years in the Navy--symbolized by the anchor on the Wahoo's fin (and again, the sword) . Finally, there is the bowler, tuxedo, and monocle, symbols of a refined, intellectual conservatism, or what I seek to encourage here.
The Policy: I take FULL responsibility for what I write. I will not be held responsible for the content of my comments section--as long as it is civil and passes my own inscrutable sniff tests, it will appear. If the comment offends you, that is on you.

You just like his Cosmo spread.
I'm a big fan of Brown's and hold none of his votes against him. We knew what we were getting with him and I give him credit for standing with the Republicans as much as he has. But unfortunately Elizabeth Warren is not Martha Coakley, and it's not an isolated, off-year election. Makes me sad but I just don't see how the guy survives, and it won't have anything to do with him.
I see how he survives, Sally: by running with Romney at the top of the ticket. They're not exactly kings in Mass, but they've both won statewide elections there, and what would the story be if Massachusetts turned Red in 2012? I say, give Brown all you can.
