I've been thinking a lot about Scott Brown today.
Brown, as some of you may know, was the Republican state senator who parlayed the popular anger over whatever people were angry about in 2010 to win the special election to complete the US Senate term of Teddy Kennedy. He did so by beating Martha Coakley, the somewhat flawed and uneasy campaigner who was, at the time, the state's attorney general.
A Republican of middling talents fueled by populism taking a surprise victory from a more experienced Democratic woman.
Sound familiar?
For those of you wondering how history might repeat itself, Brown lost his re-election bid to Elizabeth Warren. Ponder that.
Thinking about Brown also has me realizing that, as an early Trump supporter, he could wind up being the US ambassador to the UN or something. I need to stop thinking about Scott Brown.
