A donor named, F*CK YOU, dissatisfied with the NRSC for trying to claim credit for Scott Brown’s win (or maybe also dissatisfied with the NRSC’s support of liberal Republicans like Mark Kirk), sounds off by donating $1 on the NRSC website.
Independent-minded people, and the Tea Party movement, are responsible for Scott Brown’s win, not the NRSC.
After selling my last company to Amazon.com, I started a new company called, The Graph. The Graph analyzes social web data streams, which includes Twitter.
The top 10 links that have been tweeted and retweeted in the #tcot stream today *all* reference Republican Senate candidate, Scott Brown. I’ve only seen this one other time in the #tcot stream - that was during 9/12/2009 with all the #912 rallies occurring that day.
Brown is running against Democrat Martha Coakley in a special election tomorrow that could take away the dems’ filibuster-proof majority in the Senate. Much of the news linked below shows that Brown is running away from Coakley in all the polls.
These are the Brown-referenced links in order of Twitter #tcot popularity today:
The debate was moderated by CNN’s David Gergen. Near the end of the debate, he had two questions for Brown and Coakley each. After putting Brown on the spot over Roe v. Wade and “climate change,” Gergen turned to the Democrat with his hardest hitting questions of the night.
“Do you think it was right to insist on three people being at the debate?” Gergen asked Coakley. Yes, she did.
He followed up with this doozy: “As you look back on the campaign, do you have any second thoughts on how the campaign has unfolded?”
“Absolutely not,” she said.
How else would you expect a professor of “public service” at Harvard’s John F. Kennedy School of Government to moderate? David, you did hear Coakley say there were no more terrorists in Afghanistan during this same debate, didn’t you? Non sequitur much?
