The telephone survey of 472 registered voters, conducted March 6-10, found that Brown is the best known among a list of declared and possible candidates for Senate, with a favorability rating of 53 percent and an unfavorability rating of 27 percent.
Also, 52 percent of registered voters say Brown deserves to be re-elected, while 28 percent say he does not deserve to be re-elected. Brown won a special election in January 2010 to serve the remainder of the late Senator Edward Kennedy’s unexpired term and is expected to seek a full term in 2012.

But, will his popularity hold as the election season nears?

KOCH: When are you running, uh, for the next term?
BROWN: ’12.

CA-Sen: Senator Scott Brown of Massachusetts Doing Ads for Carly Fiorina
I was looking over Flapsblog.com tonight and I noticed this Google Ad showing up on the main page (right sidebar):
When you click on the ad you are directed to this page:
So, is Senator Scott Brown endorsing Carly Fiorina in a contested GOP primary Senate election?If it is not a formal endorsement, it is pretty darn close since Brown is definitely raising money for her.
And, what does this mean for Chuck DeVore and Tom Campbell?

Day By Day January 23, 2010 – Ou There
Earth to Obama, Earth to Obama: The reason Scott Brown was elected in very blue Massachusetts this week was because of YOU and your Congressional Democrat cronies.It is called dissatisfaction, Mr President.
You were elected because American voters were unhappy with Congressional Republicans and particularly President George W. Bush and their policies.
Wake up, sir and smell the coffee or the voters will treat you with the same disdain by voting your ass out of office.

Day By Day January 22, 2010 – The Internets
Chris, certainly new media, including the blogs helped Scott Brown in his race for Massachuseets United States Senate. But, there were other factors in play here as well.For example, an excellent well-spoken candidate; the Obama induced morose economy, the Obamacare legislative payoff to other states and the bungling candidacy of Martha Coakley.
Social new media though did help in a big way – by immediatley communicating Brown’s candidacy and Coakley’s missteps without the filter of the MSM.

Day By Day January 20, 2009 – Chicken!
Day By Day by Chris MuirWith Republican Scott Brown’s upset victory over Democrat Martha Coakley for Teddy Kennedy’s Massachusetts U.S. Senate seat, it remains to be seen if President Obama will accede to the will of the people or proceed with business as usual. Without a 60 vote Democrat supermajority in the Senate, Harry Reid WILL have to deal with Mitch McConnell and the Republicans.Will bipartisanship suddenly break out with some modest and scaled back health care reforms being adopted? Or will the far left of the Democrat Party force the issue and the entire Obamacare legislative package be scuttled?
Then, there are the political ramifications. How many Democrat incumbents in the House from red states or red leaning districts will now retire rather than fight for re-election. Filiong deadlines have not been reached in some 70 per cent of Congressional Districts.
Chris, a game of chicken is correct.
Who will blink first?
Obama or the Republicans?

Republican Scott Brown Wins Massachusetts U.S. Senate Seat in an Upset
The Scott heard around the world.In an epic upset in liberal Massachusetts, Republican Scott Brown rode a wave of voter anger to defeat Democrat Martha Coakley in a U.S. Senate election Tuesday that left President Barack Obama’s health care overhaul in doubt and marred the end of his first year in office.
The loss by the once-favored Coakley for the seat that the late Sen. Edward M. Kennedy held for nearly half a century signaled big political problems for the president’s party this fall when House, Senate and gubernatorial candidates are on the ballot nationwide.
More immediately, Brown will become the 41st Republican in the 100-member Senate, which could allow the GOP to block the president’s health care legislation and the rest of Obama’s agenda. Democrats needed Coakley to win for a 60th vote to thwart Republican filibusters.
Didn’t I say 2010 was going to be an interesting year in American politics.
Bring on the political machinations to try to pass Obamacare and the Congressional Democrats fleeing the good ship Obama.
Stay tuned…….

Day By Day January 19, 2009 – A Bridge Too Far
there is NO doubt that today’s Massachusett’s special U.S. Senate election between Scott Brown, the Republican and Democrat Martha Coakley is a referendum on President Obama’s health care reform efforts. The President with his Sunday visit on behalf of Coakley validated the high stakes involved.
The latest polls have Scott Brown ahead.- Of eight surveys completed and released since Wednesday, seven show Brown leading by at least a point. The one exception shows a dead heat Our chart of all polls shows a nearly seven point Brown gap between the trend lines for Brown and Coakley (51.2% to 44.3%).
- Browns’ support on our standard trend estimate has increased by nearly twelve points (from 38.5% to 51.2%) in just the last two weeks.
But, Republicans should not be complacent and have been working their GOTV efforts (Get Out the Vote).
Nationwide, Twitter followers have set up out of state phone banks to campaign on behalf of Scott Brown. And, there is a level of enthusiasm from the RIGHT that has not been apparent since 2006.
What are the ramifications of a Scott Brown victory today?
- Obamacare is DEAD
- GOP House and Senate recruitment and fundraising efforts to take control of Congress in 2010 will be intensified
Stay tuned…..
Chris, as far as Ted Kennedy goes: there used to be a joke about Jane Fonda and good ol’ Teddy. Remember it?

Day By Day January 18, 2009 – The Revolution Will Be Televised
Day By Day by Chris MuirThe latest poll from the Massachusetts U.S. Senate race has Republican Scott Brown winning in tomorrow’s special election.The final Public Policy Polling survey in Massachusetts finds Scott Brown (R) leading Martha Coakley (D), 51%
to 46%, an advantage that is within the margin of error for the poll.Key finding: “56% of voters in the state think Brown has made a strong case for why he should be elected while just 41% say the same of Coakley. Even among Coakley’s supporters only 73% think she’s made the argument for herself, while 94% of Brown’s supporters think he has.”
You know this poll must have some credibility since after President Obama’s visit for Democrat Martha Coakley yesterday, the Democrats started blaming President George W. Bush.
Now, it is down to the GOTV (Get Out the Vote) operations of both parties.
Stay tuned…….

Day By Day January 17, 2010 – That Big Sucking Sound
The large sucking sound you are hearing are Democrat voters leaving Massachusett’s U.S Senate Democrat candidate Martha Coakley to vote for Republican Scott Brown.Can you believe that in a radio interview Martha Coakley riled up Boston Red Sox fans by calling Curt Schilling (a Scott Brown supporter and formerly of the Red Sox) a Yankee fan?
When Scott Brown wins this Tuesday, the next few sounds you will hear will be the wind going out of Nevada Senator and Democrat Senate Majority leader Harry Reid and Obamacare health care reform.
++++++++++A big HAPPY BIRTHDAY to my daughter, Anna.Previous:
