One term Senator Brown

I believe this is called biting the hand that fed you Sen. Brown:

"You're talking about being an ideologue? If you're looking for one, I'm not it," said Sen. Scott Brown.

Sen. Scott Brown (R-Mass.) said he doesn't consider himself a member of the Tea Party movement and would welcome any primary challenger.

Brown's election was an anomaly. He had a lame opponent who didn't campaign until the last moment and then did it badly. But even with Coakley's incompetence, Brown would never have won without the influx of Tea Party money from all over the country and his dogwhistles to the movement. He may not consider himself to be a Tea Partier, but he certainly played one on the campaign trail.

He knows this and surely he realizes that it's not a trick that can be duplicated. I don't see how he can pull off another win in Massachusetts. The rush of undefined anger that allowed him to tap into the Tea Party mania of the day has been distilled over time into a purity test that he will surely fail. He will likely see an extreme TP challenger, who may well win a primary driven by the pocket of cranky Yankee GOPers there. But an extremist con won't win in the general election. Not in Massachusetts. Thinking by the time election day rolls around again, the recklessness of the current crop of GOPers, and the damage they will create, will scare the Indys back to the left.

But Brown will be all right. I'm willing to predict a TV punditry gig in his future.
