this bitch needs to wash dishes and make her husband a sandwich.

what a ridiculous video. I'm glad the snobby classical music at the end was turned up too loud for me to hear the man's voice at the end. this must be a terrible law school.

Umm...did I just hear her right?

"...and frankly you're probably better qualified than the average male campaign candidate that, you know, throws his hat in the ring because that's what men do, I'm not being critical, it's what they do"

That is a remarkably sexist comment - any woman in politics is ipso facto better qualified than any man. Or that politics is 'you know, just what men do'

If you think you need to revert to crass generalisations to win votes then you don't deserve to be elected.

Please Massachusetts voters . You can save our country

Vote for Scott Brown. This is your chance to stop the Obama machine.

[SCLARK2112]

Come on people, they want to throw you in jail for not buying health insurance and now you have one last chance to stop it. We desperately need to restore some kind of balance in Washington DC and voting for Brown will certainly help to put an end to this tax and control madness.

Stop Government Intrusion and Corruption

Vote to keep the political dynasties from taking up space in Congress. It's not just family name recognition that gets them elected; these dynastic politicians come with a special kind of baggage: generations of hangers-on, people who have been given favors and jobs over the years making it difficult to take them on at the polls. Yes were talking about Kennedy, Clinton, Dodd, Dole, to name a few.

Bring the seat back to the people of Mass
