Republicans are using the Democrats "anti-Scott Brown playbook" to define and damage Hassan
Glorious news! Hassan is no moderate or bipartisan politician, she's a die-hard liberal. She'd just be a corrupt Hillary Clinton clone in the Senate. I'm fine with Pappas, but I can't stand the thought of a Senator Hassan.
Btw: This poll shows no gender gap at all. It's completely implausible that Ayotte's doing as well among men as she does among women (she even does better among women in a match-up with Pappas). But still.. toss-up/tilt D with Hassan, toss-up/tilt R without her.
Hassan is probably one of the least corrupt governors in the country.
I wouldn't call her "die-hard" liberal either, maybe a left-leaning moderate.
How would the "anti-Scott Brown" play book work on the popular incumbent governor of their state? She's not the former Governor of Massachussets running for Senate in neighboring New Hampshire.
