This past holiday weekend, I spent a considerable amount of time in Southern New Hampshire (Nashua/Hollis Area) and I saw a grand total of 3 (Three Whole Lawn Signs) for Scott Brown and two for his primary opponent Mr. Smith (Bob, I think). Given the recent endorsement by our former part-time Governor, and former Presidential Candidate, I would think that there would be at least a little bit of coordination of the campaign.
Unfortunately, in New Hampshire, signs are allowed to be displayed on public property, like in the center of a traffic circle, and I believe, if memory serves correctly, two of the Scott Brown Lawn Signs were just in the grass lane of a divided highway and only one was on the lawn of an actual voter (I assume from appearance)! Nice Grass Roots effort going on there!

What a stupid question, and totally trollish!

They cross the southern border and try to take a job away from longer-term legitimate residents – but enough about Scott Brown!:)

And your president is shipping them across the country to family members. All pinky-swear to show up at court down the road. Obama will visit Texas this week but is too busy to go see the border, but will attend a fundraiser with the 1% instead. What a guy!

I’ve worked in NH politics and I swear lawn signs grow spontaneously up there.

When on election day morning the GOP put up hundreds of fake Shaheen lawn signs saying she “has the courage to raise taxes!”
Christopher says
…and that was the year I worked for the NHDP, but maybe I was too focused on my poll checking duties that day.

Ads, signs, everything.
I do have the funny feeling that he doesn’t really want it, though.
jconway says
I guess he figured running again in MA would be too much work and thought NH would just roll out the red carpet and he’d be in, you know, like an out of stater wouldn’t be at a massive disadvantage over a former three term Governor and one term Senator who has built a veritable grassroots machine over the past two decades.
The national climate was incredibly bad when she lost to Sununu, and it was a narrow lost accentuated by dirty tricks. She easily disposed of him in 2008, and should have a Warren style lead over Brown come election day. I still say-volunteers and dollars should go up to Granite State to help her, particularly since it will be our last chance to show Brown the door đŸ˜€

There are several incumbent women democrats up for reelection in 2016. Patty Murray in Washington, for one.
Shake the etch-a-sketch one more time, and the magic will strike again.
Laurel says
I can’t take that one off your list of concerns right now. Murray is respected in WA. No two-time loser bobbleheaded carpetbagger from MA (or is it NH? Or will we learn that has his heart always been in Spokane?) will ever unseat that particular local gal.
Trickle up says
But boy can he run!
mike_cote says
Stupid is as stupid does!
Laurel says
Here’s just one example of why: “Patty Murray and Senate Democrats Draft Bill to Override Hobby Lobby’s Anti-Birth-Control Bullshit ” She knows her state. As for Brown, who’s he? What did he every do for the people of Washington?
Trickle up says
Which says it was not such a good joke after all, sorry!
Laurel says
…and still am missing it, d’oh! Ah well, glad you had some fun.

Sometimes I wonder if you are just a long play satire effort, like EB3
