I don't know much about Brown but Republicans seem to see him as a "liberal Republican"
Yet I hear him called a "Tea Bagger" here? Anyone know his voting record? I do know he is Pro-choice but thats about all I know of him.

I still think Coakley has a good chance as the pollsters don't know if they believe their own numbers and the high turnout is a good sign if it was neck and neck. I just find it had to believe MA would vote in a "Tea Bagger". From what I hear about Northeast Republicans is they could be Democrats in other parts of the country and Brown was to the left of most Republicans in MA.

So who is this Brown guy? What issues is he most conservative on?

2. If he expects to have any shot at winning in '12 (a presidential election year)
he needs to be a moderate if he expects to win a full term.

3. Brown
votes with Republicans 95% of the time. Calls himself an "Independent Republican" and does NOT say the word republican when he speaks - pretending to be an "independent."

4. He is NOT pro-choice. He offered an amendment to a health care bill
that allowed doctors and hospitals to opt out of giving medical care based on "conscience."

He doesn't support gay marriage and he does support water boarding.

Does that sound like a liberal to you?
