We here at Camp Campaign are not unwilling to admit when we’re wrong. It’s just that it never has happened before. So, it is with humble hearts and full disclosure that I admit that I was wrong about Scott Brown.
Last week I wrote that Brown could not win in Massachusetts. I was convinced that the people of the Bay State were toying with the pollsters, just like their cousins in New Hampshire did two years ago. I was certain that the bluest of the blue states would not hand over the seat that the beloved brother of the more

The biggest story in politics this week is the race between Republican Scott Brown and Democrat Martha Coakely to become Ted Kennedy's replacement in the Senate. This story is huge for two reasons.
