Don’t you love stuff like this? TPM reports:
A Hill staffer, who spoke with TPM by phone, sends this dispatch from the Senate side in the wake of today’s PPP poll showing former White House financial reform adviser Elizabeth Warren leading Sen. Scott Brown (R-MA):
“Just walked passed Senator Brown’s office and in the hallway was the man himself, lamenting into his cell phone, ‘I don’t understand how she can be down 20 points one week and is now up 2. What is going on?’”
Memo to Senator Brown: the walls have ears. But, to answer your question, “what is going on” is that the people of MA have wised up. A barn jacket and a truck won’t do it this time around. They expect a record of accomplishment from their Senators, and that’s something you can’t deliver.

check out the latest, from the ever-hilarious MA GOP:
BAHAHAHAHA!! Really, is this not one of the most pathetic sights you’ve ever seen? The state GOP, obviously panicked by today’s poll showing Warren leading their golden boy and flailing about for something to do, starts telling a private institution how it should manage its internal affairs. I guess Republicans are all for letting private institutions do their thing, except when they’re not.

From the same article:
During the special election campaign, Brown continued to accept his taxpayer financed salary as a state senator. He also has not expressed any plans to give up his federal salary while running for reelection.

IOKIYAR. 😉

As for the MAGOP, whiny press releases seem to be their stock in trade.

It is always disconcerting to see R-MA. I am confident that in January 2013 it will be an isolated anomaly.

…I agree.
That said, if we still had GOPer like Edward Brooke around it would not be so bad. I never liked Scotto, and probably never would vote for him (I certainly didn’t the first time), but after filibustering lots of good bills including some he eventually signed onto, filibustering unemployment benefits, and then that God awful Clean Air vote, I knew we weren’t dealing with anything close to a moderate. I think that Susan Collins may be the last sane, if imperfect GOP Senator. On a good day he can pile on Olympia Snow, Lisa Murkowski and even Mark Kirk. But that’s about it.
