One Dem politician after another is making ads endorsing the Brown turd.
I think it's up to four now, including former Boston Mayor and Ambassador to the Holy(?) See under Clinton, Ray Flynn.

Flynn has also endorsed Romney. (Truth is, Flynn probably has not voted Democratic since Clinton as Flynn is strongly anti-abortion. Don't ask me how he reconciled that with supposedly delivering the anti-abortion vote to Bubba. Much as I criticize Clinton, he was unequivocally pro choice.)

:banghead:



I cannot imagine a single Republican office holder endorsing Warren.

All the Democratic former officeholders making commercials for the Brown turd are pretending that he is independent.

IMA (Independent, my ass.)

Brown votes with his caucus most of the time, the same way that he did when he was in the Massachusetts state legislature. He was with his state caucus 96% of the time (not an exaggeration), ran for the Senate on the Republican ticket, yet claimed to be independent.

In fact, he went through most of his campaign not identifying his party, after kicking off with a film of JFK and saying how much he (Brown) agreed with him (JFK). I bet half the people who voted with him thought he was either a Democrat or an actual independent. Unreal.

Moreover, I could be wrong on this, but I don't think he has ever once, voted contrary to his caucus, state or federal, when his vote would have affected the outcome of a vote.

But most of the left-leaning people in Massachusetts watching those ads are going to take them as gospel, instead of as the deceiving half truths that they are. And local media reinforces that myth every chance they get, especially the ones at the TV station where his wife worked for many years. (She would be the one standing in a parka on the highway, knee deep in snow, at five o'clock in the morning, for people who can't grasp a weather report without visuals. IOW, not exactly a heavyweight news reporter.)

Warren has running some good ads, too,* but none by Republicans endorsing her. And none showing that Brown's record is not as independent, as he is cracking it up to be. Come on, Liz, put those facts on the table!

This is the race I personally care about most of all this go round and it is way too close for comfort.

Not only that, but some analysts are saying that whether Warren or Brown wins may make the differece between whether the Democrats continue to have a majority in the Senate.

What kind of Democrat endorses a Republican for U.S. Senator under those circumstances? Especially when Warren is eminently suitable? Flynn even implied she was corrupt by saying over and over he wanted to vote for someone he could trust because, after over 50 years in politics, trust is the name of the game.

:wtf:

It's not even a matter of money, so far, anyway, because, so far, Warren has outraised Brown and I have not seen any PAC ads--and I am in Boston, which would be ground zero for their ads. However, the incumbent always has an advantage, especially a deceptive one. And these ads seem to be working.

Thanks Flynn and others, for stabbing in the back the people who put you in office during your entire political careers.

I hope all your eyebrow hairs fall off, all of you.

1. WTF? Indeed!
Brown is nothing but an empty suit mimbo (male bimbo).

Elizabeth has real substance. Well, I have donated to her campaign and I cannot afford more. I wish she was President of the U.S.

2. Thank you, and she has raised more than anyone else. And her ads are good, too, IMO,
One just aired on how our kids owe more money than all other debt in the U.S. combined, just on educational debt. (Mind boggling, if you consider residential mortgages, business loans, etc.)

Her numbers hit you right between the eyes.

It ends with "Washington needs to get its priorities straight."

But, nothing else matters with the anti-abortion folk.

Again, all the concern in the world from pre-conception to the exit from the birth canal, but, after that, we don't care how miserable your life may be. That's your problem. Too bad you didn't chooce the right parents to be born to.
