(CNN) - A new poll suggests that Republican Sen. Scott Brown is more popular in Massachusetts than two Democrats - Sen. John Kerry, the state's senior senator, and President Barack Obama.
A Boston Globe survey released Monday indicates that 55 percent of Bay Staters have a favorable opinion of Brown, with 18 percent saying they hold an unfavorable view of their new senator, 13 percent saying they have a neutral view and 14 percent unsure.
HJAHAHAHAHAHAI said several months ago that Scott Brown might be a viable presidential contender for the GOP. Evidence is piling up that I am absolutely correct. Far from being an extremist, Brown is a thoughtful man, who picks his fights carefully, makes compromises when he needs to, and forges consensus between Republicans and Demcorats. This is what we need in a candidate.
As long as the GOP doesn't take the crazy train and nominate Palin, but picks the pragmatic Brown instead, they have an excellent chance to unseat Obama in 2012. They might even pull off the impossible, and win Massachusetts in the process too.
Article is here.
HJAHAHAHAHAHA
No.
The poll was in MA. a LIBERAL state. Why do people keep thinking that a RINO is what the GOP needs? You have those, their called Democrats, go vote for them.
What the Republican party needs is someone who is pragmatic, rather than an ideologue who can't win the independents. IMHO, it would be better to run Brown and end up with a Republican in the White House than to run Palin and end up with nada.
This is a perfect time to present this possibility.
I think that because anyone who calls themself a republican and is not in lock-step with the radical right are often referred to as "RINO" by the self-proclaimed definers of conservatism, is just ONE reason the GOP is split into a tower of babel.
This brand of conservatism has been resoundly rejected by mainstream America. They ONLY chance the GOP has is to disown these type of people and get back towards the middle. Otherwise, turn out the lights. The party's over.
It's not an option if they intend on surviving.
More popular then Kerry?
Is that suppose to be news?
Half of the adult actresses on the planet are more popular then Kerry. Kerry's a flaming douchebag.
I guess it's not impossible to agree with you, after all.
I know, I felt... almost like I was committing a sin hitting the "Thanks" button, but it had to be done.

I'm not convinced that the GOP would side with someone who is pragmatic and dare I say moderate leaning. Their party would have to reconfigure in order to accept such a man with the way things are. The radicals shout too loudly right now.
Anyone that doesn't side with the Democrats "most of the time" is a right wing radical.You would consider Sen. McCain a radical?

You might not like them, only because they are too far right for your tastes, but you side with them, btw I'm still awaiting your response in that "Cities finding boycott"Haha I was wondering when you'd show up.
I don't like the Democrats either so what are you going to say now?
