New poll shows Massachusetts Senate race in dead heat

New poll shows Massachusetts Senate race in dead heat
"There's some evidence that Brown's supposed party independence is getting a closer look by Massachusetts voters. For example, this surprising column in the Brown-boostingBoston Herald, that scrutinizes his voting record and finds him not really all that bipartisan when it comes to the War on Women and on big money in politics."

Scott Brown's radical Senate candidates stand with Akin to redefine rape

Scott Brown's radical Senate candidates stand with Akin to redefine rape
"You probably also won't be surprised to find out all of these representatives were cosponsors of the infamous HR 3, the "No Taxpayer Funding for Abortion Act." You know that one, the one that says there's only really one kind of rape, "forcible" rape, and you can't get an abortion unless you can prove that you were the victim of rape-rape, not one of those other kinds of rape that you might have really enjoyed. With the added bonus that the IRS would actually have to audit your abortion to determine whether your abortion was because of rape or incest.

That's where Scott Brown's loyalties lie, and that's who Scott Brown wants with him in the Senate. In a word, his fellow Republicans."

So when asked about Paul Ryan, what could Brown do but run away from them? Literally."
