Update: Turns out there is downside for Brown. Tony Perkins of the Family Research Council warning Brown to “be careful,” thus unintentionally burnishing Brown’s independent, women-friendly cred. Brown catches a nice break.

Has Warren gone on the record if she supports a carbon tax or not?
And Ignored Appropriately!
your claim that “Anyone who disagrees with [me] a “hate-filled” person”.
You disagree with me, that doesn’t make you a “hater”. I will end there.
Bazinga.
Dan Hominem. The Red Herring from Waltham.
If he considers himself a Red Sox fan.
it would violate the Geneva Convention. Any true Red Sox fan wants a new ball park. Are you suggesting Professor Warren from tax exempt Harvard Univ. wants to keep Fenway Dump? I doubt it since she owns a BMW, sounds to me she likes luxury.
Do you see the new Yankee Stadium as the Bronx Bombers took two of three from Boston? The seats look like bacaloungers.
It is pretty clear that you are totally out of touch regarding the Red Sox and Fenway Park. It is very clear that fans are pretty happy with Fenway. Anyone who listens to local sports radio or attends the games on a regular basis — which you clearly do not — would be aware of this. There were some fans that wanted a new park back before the current management took over, but the vast majority of them are happy with the renovations to the current park. And quite frankly, as far as I am concerned anyone who whines about the quality of the amenities at Fenway aren’t real baseball fans.
It is clear that you cannot restrain yourself from posting just for the sake of being heard, but you just embarrass yourself on this topic.
You beat me to the joke by nearly 2 hours.
Well Done!
If Scott agrees with a conservative point, he’s Satan.
If Scott agrees with a progressive point (DADT vote, Akin, etc.), he doesn’t mean it, hypocrite, etc.
If and when Warren ever agrees with a conservative point – will you be posting that she doesn’t mean it, she’s a hypocritical hack, etc?
Not that she’d ever stray from boilerplate.
Not that you guys would ever stray from Sen. McConnell’s marching orders.
Don’t get too far from your fax machine! You might not know what to say.
it’s good to see you back, Peter.
… that encourages independent stands only when the stand can’t actually matter to the outcome or if the outcome was hopeless to begin with. They encourage this stand precisely because they know it can gain inroads for those members that need to build up their ‘independence’ to appeal to their particular constituency. Because this plan is in place and has be used for decades now, I can’t give so-called independent GOPers any credit for being independent – as GOPers they support a system that makes any independent quality that one might find appealing useless in that it can’t accomplish anything. Wish it weren’t true, but the analysis is pretty clear.
I have missed you.
I noted in another thread that this was a wonderful gift to Sen. Brown, even while it has given the national GOP campaign a headache. He is not one to miss such an opportunity, and hasn’t missed it. What’s even better for him is that Democrats are going to try to keep this story running for awhile, and he will have a series of opportunities to be independent and mavericky. And what, is the Warren campaign going to complain about the hay being made by national Democrats? They have to grin and bear it.
I will be more convinced when he bucks Sen. McConnell on something McConnell wants.
He is driving the famous GMC truck!!! Who drives a sleek foreign import??
Brown flashes a picture of himself with his platoon in the National Guard. He really knows how to connect the Mr and Mrs Joe Sixpack.

It makes him look like a regular guy. Note how the ad says nothing about his positions on any issue. His campaign strategy seems to revolve around fooling the voters into thinking he is a Democrat, or at least more moderate than he really is. It may well work.
This ad has all the substance of his Cosmo centerfold — and about as much integrity. The message seems to be “Vote for Scott Brown because he drives a truck”.
I guess some “low-information voters” might find this persuasive. This ad and its targeting reveals yet again the contempt that the Brown campaign has for its likely supporters.
Talk about fooling the voters, where does she stand? Brown is against it. And I don’t want Bob posting about bulldozing Fenway Dump after my post.
You write “Low information voters would like to know Warren’s position on carbon taxes”. I guess so, it does seem to be something that you are particularly eager to know.
PPP is a Democrat polling firm too. Scottie Too Hottie just crushing it with Independents with a 26 point lead (voters like me). I find this amazing and with Brown running the “I am like the neighbor next door” ads and bravely telling Akin to get out of his race, don’t be surprised if the margin widens.
Dave- below is the link to the poll.

Oh, this poll has Mitt up by 4 pts in Michigan….WOW
http://www.myfoxdetroit.com/story/19329562/new-michigan-poll-has-romney-ahead-of-obama
up by 5 points. As this guy at HuffPo (writing about this contest’s polls in April) points out, different polls, different methodologies, different results, lots of variance. I’m not saying this is poll isn’t accurate. I just wouldn’t put money on it.
And yes, I’d be saying the same thing if Warren were up by 5 points. What should be a cause for concern for Warren is,
The margin of independents will be decided, I think, after there is some clash between the two candidates, namely in debates. While there are independents like you Dan, there are many who are just not that into politics. The question is if enough can be swayed by Warren.
Dan is no independent.
His comments here are those of a hyper-GOP partisan, through and through.
gives him plausible deniability in his own mind though.
…when our resident trolls taunt us with polls showing our candidates on the losing end? It’s no secret that both the MA Senate and presidential races are volatile and likely to be close regardless of who prevails. Do they think we’ll shrivel up and die?, change our views of the candidates and issues?, stop campaigning for our people?, shut down BMG? I really do not understand what the motivation is.
Just the other day, he was presented with a coherent argument, and he turned it into enough red herrings to feed 5000 people.
