Slapdown

Ben Smith:

From the Brown campaign:

 Sunday, January 17, 2010

 WHAT:
 Scott Brown for U.S. Senate , “The People’s Rally”

 WHO:

 Scott Brown, candidate for U.S. Senate
 Curt Schilling, Red Sox legend
 Doug Flutie, former Boston College star and NFL great
 John Ratzenberger, from Cheers
 Ayla Brown, Scott’s daughter

Get a sense of the demographic they’re going for here?

Please do go over and read what Smith’s commenters are saying. Because they are slapping Ben around pretty hard. Whether he meant it to or not, the comment sounds pretty elitist and the readers are taking it that way. And beating heck of of him as a result.

Actually, if you look at that list, you realize that Brown is appearing with people with a strong connection to New England, Boston and Massachusetts. (Ratzenberger is a native of Connecticut.) In other words, he isn’t bringing in outsiders with no connection to Massachusetts – a smart move that casts a harsh spotlight the outsiders Coakley is bringing in to stump for her. 

Brown is running a heck of a campaign.

  1. The part that amused me yet infuriated me was the comments by the leftists casting aspersions on John Ratzenberger, based on his character on Cheers….

    CLIFF CLAVEN WAS A FICTIONAL CHARACTER, YOU IDIOTS!
