GOP U.S. Senate candidate Scott Brown has been all but abandoned by the same national Republican committees that pumped hundreds of thousands in campaign cash to former governors Mitt Romney and William Weld during their long-shot bids for U.S. Senate.This is a shame given that the national committees backed Scozaffava in NY-23, even when she was far less of a Republican than Mr. Brown is. This is why I've become very disenchanted with the various national GOP committees.
The snub has outraged local Republicans who say national conservatives should be jumping at the chance to nab the first open Senate seat in decades despite Brown’s tough odds in the Jan. 19 special election.

Hmm. So what is it about Brown that scares the GOP? I am just starting to follow this story, so I know very little about Brown at all.
Is he not moderate enough? Is he too Conservative? Is he not GOP material? Apparently it is something offensive or scary to the GOP, now isn't it?
Inquiring minds want to know.
From what I can see it's more a case of "gee wiz, we might not win this one." So they don't even try. But if they made it a referendom on Obama's policies, I think they could put a Conservative in for the first time since Henry Cabot Lodge held a seat. I think they're making a mistake...but, that's what the GOP does, FUBAR.
