Rand is in NH for a post-primary unity breakfast, a GenOpp event, and to endorse Sen. Scott Brown: https://www.facebook.com//#!/events/...n_user_invited
Is he the guy who drives a truck?
I'm going to cut him some slack. He is playing the game.
The same Scott Brown that wanted to empower Obummer to strip citizenship from suspected terrorists?

Yeah, the carpetbagging RINO from MA. Why scott brown, when there are so many GOOD candidates out there for Rand to endorse? Who's next, wankford?Originally Posted by EBounding

That seems to be what Ted Cruz wants to do as well.
This is a unity event and Rand is working to get a Republican majority in the Senate. Scott Brown is in a 50/50 race where an endorsement like this can make a difference and put him over the top. Endorsements mean nothing....people really need to get off their high horses and being "pure" on endorsements. It's not a big deal at all and is in no way indicative of Rand's policy making.

We're talking about endorsing the Republican nominee against a Democrat opponent. Right?
What candidates are you talking about? Like third party hacks or something?
There is really no difference with Brown's politics and Jeanne Shaheen in office, currently.

If that's the case, then there's no harm done here.
We have two whole sections of RPF devoted to Liberty Candidates, in addition to separate sections for selected individual Liberty Candidates. You've never noticed this?

Rand is not trying to convince the liberty movement he is the right guy for the job. He is trying to convince the other guys he is the right guy for the job. He needs to work outside of our very small circle (Ron Paul's base is around 2 million votes if you look at his primary vote totals)

Yeah, endorsing a guy who cast almost half of his votes with the democrats is real convincing to the average Republican. I'm not one to tear Rand down, and I feel he's doing a fantastic job, but this is a really lousy endorsement. I suppose we should expect the tom cotton endorsement next.

this is ok, Brown is lesser of 2 evils. and could be useful in 2016.
Are any of those candidates running against Scott Brown?
You're talking about endorsing him in the general election, not a Republican primary. Right?
If so, I don't get why you don't get it.
Yes, but still an evil nonetheless.

Who would you rather have in office if Rand were president? A Republican that he endorsed, he or a Democrat? If you think it makes no difference, you're a blithering idiot.
Politics matter. Just because you wish it wasn't so doesn't make it that way.
Then they should ask him for an endorsement. I bet many have received endorsements already.

Scott Brown will be more respectful of Rand than Kelly Ayotte.
Brown said if Republicans want Rand or Cruz to be Chairman of a committee, vote for Brown.
Also Brown hasn't really done anything totally pissing off the base, like Ayotte voting for amnesty.
Brown is clearly popular. He did better than Tillis, Coats, Ayotte and others.

LOL! Blithering idiot eh? Well, how much of the voting for the lesser of two evils has turned this country around?

FYI, most mainstream Republicans like Scott Brown....this is just politics. Nothing more, nothing less.
It's a damn endorsement and Rand is trying to help the Republicans recapture the Senate. It's pretty obvious and endorsements don't mean anything in the end...

He was only liked because he has an "-R" after his name, and managed to win an election in a liberal state. It wasn't because of his record, by any means.

I never said it was. But Rand is trying to align himself in the public eye with a popular "moderate" Republican who has appeal on both sides of the aisle. It's an endorsement....not...a...big....deal. POLITICS is important if you want to win elections.

Yes, playing politics has worked so well up to this point, amirite?
NH's federal representation is awful, Scott Brown will not improve it.

I don't see this as an issue. If Rand wants to win he is going to have to make nice with a lot of officials and voters who thought Ron was a wacky guy from another planet.
