WASHINGTON — The torrent of small campaign contributions from around the country that flooded GOP Senator Scott Brown’s campaign coffers ahead of his special election last year has all but dried up, as the excitement generated by his campaign has faded and some of his votes have disillusioned rank-and-file conservatives.
I am amused how they "determined" that Brown's support was "dwindling":
Since Brown took office in the US Senate, the share of those small contributions has plunged from 54 percent of his financial haul during the race to 15 percent during the first three months of 2011.
Um, perhaps that's because he's in office now, and not actively campaigning for a Senate seat? Just because Teleprompter Jesus is in perpetual campaign mode doesn't mean all politicians are... Is it really news that small donations - the types coming in from individual donors and such - drop off when it's not an active campaign cycle? I'm sure the Globe has an exhaustive analysis of Øbama's campaign ca$h as well, right?
And anyone "disillusioned" with Brown's votes needs to take a good look at reality here - you supported a Northeast Republican. Don't expect the second coming of Ronald Reagan.
That is all.

Scott Brown could pretty much skin a kitten and I would still support him under the "Well, Coakley would have skinned FIVE kittehs and danced in their blood!" rule.
Okay maybe not a kitten, but probably puppies. I could probably see my way to that.
"perpetual campaign mode doesn't mean all politicians are... "
Sorry but yes they are. It's the nature of the game.

Gee, a Republican Senator from New England who's nothing but a RINO. That's like saying Romney is a Democrat in a Business Suit. Wait a minute, he is a, oh, never mind.
