FUN FACTS ABOUT SCOTT BROWN
Things I discovered doing a bit of my own research about "bipartisan" Scott Brown:
In 53 roll call votes where Republicans could filibuster, block cloture, block "up or down" majority vote...
Scott voted contrary to the Republicans TWICE before Warren entered the race
and 11 times since entering. (massprogress.org)

Campaign strategy and tactics:
1) Go "Missing In Action" from RNC
2) Referring to Ms Warren as "professor" in derisive way to show anti-intellectual bona fides.
3) Never use the word "Republican"
4) Look working-class, associate with the working-class, and pretend to be moderate and bipartisan.
5) Never mention any of these above facts.
6) Catchy Slogan: "He's for us" (if you work on Wall St.)
Please disseminate to anyone in Massachusetts. Donate to Warren's campaign !!!!!!!
