Brown Snubs Palin and Tea Party

[ccharles000]

Sen. Scott Brown (R-MA), "whose stunning victory in January was fueled in part by Tea Party anger, has snubbed the fiery grassroots group and declined its invitation to join Sarah Palin Wednesday at a massive rally on Boston Common," the Boston Herald reports.

"Brown's decision to skip the first big rally in Boston by the group whose members are credited with helping him win election has some experts saying he's tossed the Tea Party overboard, as he prepares for re-election in 2012."

1. without them he'll lose in '12. I'm guessing he's trying to appeal to moderate dems but it won't

work. We know who put him there and any dem with a pulse will beat him in 2 years.

7. Maybe this time that pulseful Dem will even campaign, ehh? (NT)

2. "Massive rally"

We'll see. It hasn't even happened yet and it's being called a "massive rally." :eyes:

How about waiting for an actual head count on the turnout before making such an utterly speculative statement. Geez, is the media not capable of predicting the future?

6. Well, consider the source...

This is the Boston Herald, a far right rag. It doesn't surprise me at all...They will report a 50 person showing as a massive rally.

8. Yeah, the Boston Herald might as well be Faux News

It's wishful right-wing newspaper thinking.

9. Using Freeper standards, "Massive" is when at least 10 portapotties are delivered.

The number of people who actually show up is immaterial.

3. As I predicted, teabaggers are claiming credit

for getting Stupak to quit even though he says they had nothing to do with it. How long before Brown starts getting threatened?

[liberal N proud]

4. massive?

[KingFlorez]

5. That won't be enough to save his seat in 2012

The Democrats will definitely have a strong candidate and he'll get booted out. Plus, with no right-wing support do to him not toeing the line, he stands even less of a chance.
