Seriously, what a jackass. Democrats are guaranteeing that Brown will not be back in the Senate next year:Scott Brown, the former Republican senator from Massachusetts who is running to unseat Sen. Jeanne Shaheen (D-N.H.) in New Hampshire, is again talking up his long service in the National Guard, suggesting it taught him how to run a "frontal attack."Brown first enlisted in the National Guard in 1979, according to his memoir. He left an infantry unit in the 1990s to become a military lawyer, he wrote, explaining that with a wife and kids, "It was becoming less enticing to spend weekends in the woods."
He never served in combat, according to a detailed review by the Boston Globe. The closest he came was a week of training in Afghanistan in 2011, while he was in office. He also did lots of legal work for service members, and during his Senate career he served in the Pentagon as a colonel in the Maryland National Guard.
Still, he gave the impression Wednesday in a campaign question-and-answer session in Hudson, New Hampshire, that he was a bit more combat-seasoned than that. Criticizing President Barack Obama's efforts cutting costs and reshaping the military as "incoherent," Brown suggested he would do better because of his experience. - Huffington Post, 9/4/14

If you want to donate and get involved with Senator Jeanne Shaheen's (D. NH) campaign, you can do so here:Senate Democrats' campaign arm on Thursday began running its first ads in New Hampshire's race that is quickly becoming more competitive.The Democratic Senatorial Campaign Committee's multimillion-dollar ad push, which will run through Election Day, criticizes likely Republican nominee Scott Brown for votes he cast while serving as senator from next-door Massachusetts. The ad also makes a direct appeal for older voters, who have great sway in New Hampshire.
"New Hampshire is a good place to grow older. We can depend on each other," the ad's narrator says in the 30-second spot. "But Scott Brown would turn his back on New Hampshire seniors. While representing Massachusetts, Scott Brown supported cuts to Medicare and Social Security."
The narrator also adds: "And he voted to protect tax breaks for millionaires and big oil." - Huffington Post, 9/4/14
