4. He's not doing nearly as well as his polls suggest.

Mr. Popular couldn't crack 40% against Elizabeth Warren in the last poll of this race, and her ads far outclass his. She talks about how we spend less than 3% of our GDP on infrastructure, and China spends more than 9%. She speaks directly into the camera and says that we should spend money on infrastructure improvements because those are the quickest ways to create jobs and get people steady paychecks again.

Senator Centerfold's latest ad? "Hey, the former idiot Democratic Mayor of Boston thinks I'm a swell guy!" Flynn was never popular and he's never going to win Boston anyway. Every one of his ads has been him trotting out someone to talk about what a great guy he is. Brown never addresses the camera, never talks to the people like he did two years ago.

If the debates go badly for him, he's going to go down hard.
