How best to derail Scott Brown in NH... [View all]
I'd like some advice from all you good folks about how to approach this fall's Senate race in NH. I know that the mantra is GOTV, but I want to do something more, esp given NH's notorious "independent" streak. Do I paint Brown as a carpetbagger? Do I use newspaper letters-to-the-editor to point out that Brown has apparently taken advantage of the ACA in his family to get insurance for his 26 year old daughter? I wonder if he supported "Romneycare" while he lived in Massachusetts.
There's also the wild card, former US Senator Bob Smith, who is/was planning to run in the primary against Brown. Haven't heard anything from his camp in months and I wonder whether he has been bought off by Americans for Prosperity (aka the Kochs) so as not to split the Repub vote and diminish Brown in the primary. Of course Smith, too, has the carpetbagger tendency...moved to Florida and ran for the Senate and lost miserably. But the old-folk right wing in this crazy state might vote for him in a fit of nostalgia...
What to do? This race is too important to lose.
