Scott Brown has a new radio ad in the Massachusetts special Senate election, featuring people describing why they support him.
“I was raised a Democrat so was my family and the Democrats of today are not the Democrats I grew up with and I vote for the candidate I don’t vote for the party,” says a man. A woman follows: “I’m supporting Scott because I don’t want people down in DC making decisions about my health care. I want to keep my health care. I want to keep it for my children and my parents.”
The prominent Boston accents of the voters picked out for the ad seem to be a clear play for working-class voters in this Democratic state, who usually wouldn’t even think of voting for a Republican.
