I happened to catch a report on the World Service which talked about Scott Brown, and he sounds a voteable guy, if half of what it said about him is true then it's little wonder that he got in. He seems to be a rather middle road Republican, a sort of 'Republican-lite' compared to the oft-portrayed (by left leaning media it must be said) right-wing heavies.
It doesn't hurt that he's got the looks and charisma. Heck, the guy is a walking talking vote winner, he's got an American Idol semi-finalist as a daughter, a news reporter as a wife, he swims, he cycles, he runs, he's Downtown Scotty Brown in the hoops, he's in the National Guard, he's a model and he raises money for Nuns who make candy for children.

This guy is going to go far. He's a walking campaign winner I'd say.

We could see a President Brown in 2012. If I were American I'd probably vote for him and I'm more left wing than I am right, but his views sound about right, although I (as I always am) am a bit concerned with the mixture of religion with politics, don't get me wrong, I don't mind what denomination the chap is, so long as that doesn't come through in his policies. Politics and religion should really be kept seperate IMHO, but that's me.
