More on Scott Brown's US Senate quest
Jan. 8th, 2010 12:00 pmfrom Daily Kos
This is a special election to fill the seat vacated by the death of Ted Kennedy. The turnout is likely to be low because there's nothing else on the ballot and people here are pretty disgusted with politics right now. Brown represents my district in the Massachusetts state Senate, and there are signs up for him all over my town. He was elected to the state Senate in 2004 as an opponent of same-sex marriage after his predecessor, Cheryl Jacques, left to head a national gay rights advocacy group. Since then, Brown has been very responsive to his constituents in day-to-day matters and no one has come close to defeating him; his margin of re-election in 2008 was 59% to 41%. Once in the U.S. Senate he'd be difficult to dislodge.
Therefore I urge my readers in Massachusetts to turn out on Tuesday the 19th and vote for Martha Coakley, the least objectionable candidate in the race and the one best positioned to beat Brown.
