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
