Scott Brown gets a lot of mileage from his "regular guy" schtick. "You tasted samples at a local brewery!" doesn't seem like the kind of gaff that's going to have much traction. But that's just my opinion.

...it might help to drive home the point that he's a liar (I know that's the same as "'regular guy' schtick" to the GOP). Keep this on tap. His comments were sexist (seems like he was trying to pick up the reporter, too). If that fails, accuse him of driving under the influence.

From the first link in the piece:

The road yesterday took Brown to the Blue Hills Brewery in Canton, where the buttoned-down Wrentham Republican invited this Herald reporter to loosen up and sip brews from small sample cups.

“You can pound those pretty good,” Brown said as he tasted one of the lighter brews. His favorite was a hoppy beer called Red I.P.A.

“Sit down. Try this one. I’ve seen you in the bars before, don’t act like you’ve never been to a bar,” he said, sliding over a stool. “We’re gonna have her dancing in the back of the truck.”

Brown then got behind the wheel of his dark green pickup and cruised to his next campaign stop.

Republicans make hay out of the smallest thread, and if that doesn't exist, they make up a thread.

Why should Democrats overlook the fact that Brown is a liar?
