Related: About this forumScott The Naked Man Brown is just such a smarmy asshole. Who could stomach him?
Notice in the debate tonight that EVERYTHING had to be about getting in some smarmy dig. In the end when each were asked some lighthearted questions, Brown had to attack. EVEN THEN. What a fucking asshole. For example, they were each asked to say a nice thing about each other. Warren went first and did. Then Brown said she was a good professor and wanted to keep her there. What an asshole. Then they were asked about whether they would allow strugglng Red Sox manager another season. Warren finally said yeah, ok, give him one more year to build it. Brown wouldn't commit, but just had to say "Professor Warren predicted they would win 90 games." What a fucking asshole. Christ I just hope she beats his rotten ass. Then the bastard, who so touted in his first campaign that they should elect a Republican for a change, is now going on and on about he is an "Independent." Won't even say the word Republican. He is such a total asshole. A phony. A fake who goes running around begging for Republican big money, begged Koch for money, and tells his big money donors that if they give him money he'll be there to help stop Obama. Slimeball LIAR !

For example, Warren needs to ask Brown, "Senator, if you are an Independent as you claim, why do you have an (R) after your name and not an (I)?"
"Why are you being funded by Karl Rove's SuperPAC?"
"Why does a video show you meeting with the Koch Brothers?"

(14,565 posts)do the math on how many times his vote has aligned with his party.
It will be something ridiculous, like 95% of the time.
Just repeat - "Senator Brown has the reputation as being one of the few independent minded republicans in congress, but he has voted with this party 95% of the time."

(1,532 posts)when she said that what he says in Massachusetts is much different than what he tells Republicans in other parts of the country. And Brown couldn't deny it.

There's a website I saw earlier today that has links to all the fundraisers and posters where Brown has bragged about being a Republican who can block Obama & the Democrats. Some photos and quotes from those will help close the deal for Warren.

(297,283 posts)time because Martha Coakley made some remark about the Sox that seemed clueless. I'm sure that wasn't the only reason..there was Brown's coat and his pickup truck.
So, he's acting like a desperate rat in a corner showing his incisors with the Red Sox shit.

(4,551 posts)1. Democrats took the race for granted and assumed a seat that had been Democratic for nearly 50 years would remain so
2. Martha Coakely was not an effective campaigner or as good as Elizabeth Warren at meeting and connecting with people
3. It was a Special Senate election in which the Republican base was more motivated to come out and vote than Democratic voters would be in a Presidential election year
