Does Senator Scott Brown Think Smart Women Are Out To Get Him?

Does Senator Scott Brown think smart women are out to get him? The Massachusetts Senator keeps campaigning against them when they’re not running against him — or anyone else. Smart women must make Brown so nervous he needs to pad his already healthy Senate war chest with your dollars to help him sleep at night.

Consider this. In March of 2010, Scott Brown, just months into his new job as Republican Senator Brown of Massachusetts decided that MSNBC anchor Rachel Maddow, popular host of “The Rachel Maddow Show,” a Rhodes Scholar and Doctor of philosophy, and a long-time Massachusetts resident, was going to quit her well-paid job and toss her hat into the ring to run against him two years into the future. (Brown was elected in a special election to replace the late Senator Edward Kennedy and is up for re-election in November 2012.)

The Brown campaign sent out an email that stated, in part, “It’s only been a couple of months since I’ve been in office, and before I’ve even settled into my new job, the political machine in Massachusetts is looking for someone to run against me. And you’re not going to believe who they are supposedly trying to recruit — liberal MSNBC anchor Rachel Maddow.”

“The political season never ends, which is why I need your continued support. While my opponents strategize on how to defeat me in 2012, I’m going to continue to speak out against higher taxes, more spending and greater government control in our lives.”

“Rachel Maddow has a nightly platform to push her far-left agenda. What about you? I’d like to encourage ordinary American citizens concerned about the future of their country to get more involved in our government. I hope you were encouraged by my victory to become more politically active, maybe even become a candidate for office yourself. We can continue to push our movement forward by running for office, joining in rallies and petitions that challenge President Obama and Nancy Pelosi’s healthcare legislation, supporting campaigns against the tax-and-spenders or by donating time and money to office-holders and candidates who will restore the principles of our founders.”

Maddow was so incensed — and rightly so — that she called and wrote her Senator and asked him to stop using her as a campaign fund enabler. No response from her own Senator! So Maddow took out a full page ad in the Boston Globe denying a senatorial run, and then took to the airwaves to clear up any confusion and to deny she would be running for Brown’s Senate seat.

Fast forward to now.

Fresh off a Republican victory of eliminating Harvard Law Professor Elizabeth Warren from even being nominated to run the newly-formed Consumer Financial Protection Bureau — a concept that was her creation — Republican Senator Brown has now decided to attack Warren for the possibility of, you guessed it, running against him in the general election next year.

Brown’s campaign posted a message on his website that states the Democrats “are so obsessed with winning this seat back that Washington elitists are trying to push aside local Democrat candidates in favor of Professor Warren from Oklahoma.”

The Raw Story, which says that Brown “is shadowboxing his way through the early stages of his 2012 reelection campaign, points out that Elizabeth Warren, “has lived in the Bay State for more than two decades.”
