Scott Brown's Dilemma

[Geee]

American Spectator:

BOSTON -- Noam Scheiber, writing in the New Republic, says that Barack Obama has found the model that will allow him to win a second term against all odds: the reelection of Deval Patrick as governor of Massachusetts.

Patrick won a second term just months after signing a sales-tax increase at least as unpopular as Obama's health care bill. He spurned his advisers' entreaties to run away from the tax hike or the liberals in the state legislature. And he won a second term in "the same foul, anti-incumbent mood that elected Scott Brown." According to Scheiber, Team Obama has taken notice.

If the president's men want his reelection campaign to be based on that of a tax-raising Democrat who won 49 percent of the vote in a three-way race in a liberal state, good luck to them. Perhaps they have found a faux Tea Party candidate who can split the center-right vote, a majority even in Massachusetts, for them. But the aforementioned Scott Brown had better take notice of Patrick's success.

Brown, the Republican elected to fill the last two years of Ted Kennedy's term in January, will face the voters again in November 2012. He stunned the Democrats in that special election. This time they will see him coming. Faced with a larger than usual number of competitive Republican candidates this past November, Massachusetts Democrats reminded everyone that they are hard to beat without the element of surprise.

Brown will not win. He won last time thanks to the support of the Tea Party and countless conservatives from out of state.

 

This time, he will be left high and dry. None of them will support someone who has only been out RINOed by the b*tches from Alaska and Maine.
