Republican candidate and state Sen. Scott Brown doesn’t want President Obama to come to Massachusetts to campaign for his opponent, state Attorney General Martha Coakley.

“He should stay away and let Martha and I discuss the issues one on one,” Brown told the Boston Herald this week. “The machine is coming out of the woodwork to get her elected. They’re bringing in outsiders, and we don’t need them.”

The White House has said Obama will not campaign for Coakley in the Bay State, but he did cut a web ad and send an email to supporters urging them to get out and support the Democrat.
