Scott Brown Fulfills 'Across-the-Board Tax Cut' Pledge
Sen. Scott Brown’s (R-Mass.) first ad — which drew the attention of everyone but Martha Coakley’s sleepy campaign staff — started with President John F. Kennedy talking about Tax Cuts and faded into the handsome Republican finishing the spiel. Today he’s making good on the rhetoric by introducing an “Immediate Tax Relief for America's Workers” amendment, which has no chance of passing but neatly makes the supply-sider’s argument against the...

It's a business-themed show, so they'll ostensibly talk about cutting taxes, but perhaps Mr. Brown can also offer Mr. Kudlow some tips on how to campaign out of one's truck, and, more generally,...

Video: Scott Brown Reacts To Democrats Using Reconciliation To Pass Health Care
Scott Brown os no pure conservative, but far superior to Marth (Marcia) Coakley:
Martha Coakley on Public Anger and Her Election Defeat
Even if they still face an uphill climb on Health Care reform, Democrats have regained their footing since Scott Brown's Senate victory in Massachusetts. Shortly after the election, it seems as though comprehensive reform was dead, at least for 2010. And now here we are talking about the not totally unrealistic Democratic strategy for getting it done in the next month, even without a supermajority in the Senate.
Brown's surprise victory jolted his opponent, Massachusetts Attorney General...
Could a Kennedy take out Scott Brown in 2012?
It won’t be easy. The last Republican senator to win re-election in Massachusetts was Ed Brooke in 1972 – back when ideology and party label weren’t synched up as they now are. Brooke may have had an “R” next to his name, but he was also a liberal, something that counted for a lot in the only state to vote for George Mcgovern. And next to Brooke, Brown might as well be Jim DeMint, even with his Jobs Bill vote and pro-choice position. To understand Brown’s 2012...

Independents and 2010
The big Republican victories in Massachusetts, New Jersey, and Virginia over the last four months were all fueled by the party racking up huge wins with independents. Our final polls in those states had Scott Brown winning them by 32, Bob McDonnell winning them by 30, and Chris Christie winning them by 23.
Is the GOP having the same kind of success with those voters in all the 2010 races that it did in those contests? Yes and no.

Aides say Coakley will seek reelection as attorney general
Stung by her crushing loss to Republican Scott Brown in the US Senate race, Attorney General Martha Coakley will return to work this week and seek Reelection in the fall, aides said yesterday.
“She loves her job,’’ said spokesman Corey Welford. “It allows her to take on issues she feels passionately about, to fight for the people in the state.’’
Still, for someone who had been preparing a Senate run for years, the political landscape is certainly...

"If it's the same, I'll vote for it again with minor tweaks," Brown (D-Mass.) told The Hill. "If minor tweaks mean several
The Battle for California
[ Editors' note: Can California elect a Republican to the Senate? In a more conventional time, that might seem like a fanciful question. But with Scott Brown's improbable victory in blue-state Massachusetts, the possibility of a shock GOP upset cannot be entirely discounted. California Democrats continue to enjoy the traditional perks of home field advantage, including 1.5 million more registered voters and a nationally known incumbent liberal icon and 17-year Senate veteran Barbara Boxer....
