Massachusetts Sen. Scott Brown is facing a serious challenger in Elizabeth Warren. In the blue state of Massachusetts, Brown’s best bet is basically running as an independent, not beholden to either party. To that effect, he has released a video re-introducing himself to voters. In the video, he stresses his rough upbringing, his time in the military, and the fact that even though he’s technically Republican, he’s really an independent.
Watch:
Interestingly, one part of the video shows a Newsweek headline calling Brown “The New McCain.” But of course, John McCain did not win Massachusetts in 2008 — he lost it to Barack Obama by a 26-point margin.
