Scott Brown campaign ads and the local news: a Boston perspective

Had the local news on over lunch. A Scott Brown ad ran in each of the first three commercial breaks. All three were "Warren thinks she's an Indian" ads. Cuz that's what matters.

As the hourlong news broadcast went on, Brown continued his saturation bombing of the airwaves: one every commercial break, like clockwork. Exactly one Warren ad aired during that hour, her excellent response to this Native American onslaught. I dug the timing, and hope the 5 to 1 ad ratio augers in her favor. "More and Dumb" has a way of beating "Less and Smart" in ad wars...but methinks Brown might be overplaying a weak hand.

What an unreconstructed bag of smashed assholes is Mr. Brown.

....before the feel sympathetic to the person being attacked and get sick of the attacker.

Scotty is a lightweight and he's going down hard. He just may be too stupid to realize it. I will savor watching him and his arrogant family have to concede election night.

Brown has nothing on Ms. Warren, so he goes to the only thing he thinks he can nail her on. Unfortunately, no one gives a crap about his, Warren's, or anyone else's heritage. This is about the issues and what is at stake. He cannot compete on legitimate issues, so he just hits away with this moot point.
