Palin v. Brown, round one:

Former Governor of Alaska Sarah Palin took some pot shots at Former State Senator Scott Brown this week, tarring him as a weak knee'd moderate of uncertain GOP vintage.
Predicatably, the Boston Herald "thinks" this will rebound to Scott Brown's advantage in the Bay State.
Me? I'm wondering as to what positive effect this dust up will have (if any) on Brown's polling in New Hampshire.
Palin's goals here are as usual transparent, bloody up Brown and by extension serve notice that Mitt Romney can expect much the same come campaign 2012.
Humble Elias wonders though, what are Brown's goals in all this? Sure the teabaggers have turned on him, but likely they are akin to the Silver Shirt Legion or Pet Rocks, a flash in the pan in other words, Scott can safely keep them at a distance. What he wants and needs now is well heeled friends at the topmost of the GOP's heirarchy, people who can fills his coffers for any sort of a campaign in 2012 be it re-election or a flyer in the NH primary.
Sounds crazy I know. But Brown is vain, ambitious and ludicrously prideful, he knows the longer he tarries in the US Senate the dimmer his national prospects, the ranks of defeated presidential candidates are swollen with US Senators nigh these last forty years.
Barack Obama did not hang around the Senate Chambers for more than three years before bolting down the street to 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue.
Granted Brown would have to sell out his sponsor Mitt Romney, but that is small beers in the grand scheme of things...Nobody really likes Mitt Romney, they'll hardly shrug if he gets knifed in the back and prize Scott for his "discipline and focus".
Meanwhile Palin will stump NH and lose crowds from Antrim to Moultonboro, she will labor fatally under the mistaken impression that the squinty yeoman of the Granite State have the same political DNA as the surly mendicants of Alaska.
Nothing could be further from the truth. The fact of the matter is, New Hampshire has a healthy suspicion of big ticket out of state Upper Case Conservatives...Especially if they are a little glitzy and silly like Sarah Palin,
Remember, Pat Robertson came on like Sarah and New Hampshire voters simply laughed at him
Could go likewise for Sarah.
Meanwhile all Brown would have to do is drive around in his God Damned gas guzzling truck, grin and wave.
Think about it....Might be the best way to get rid of his ass.
