It does say "Scott Brown, United States Senate" in the background. Wink

I went to the link on my phone and didn't see any background. Tongue

Great news!

Some loser tweets Brown that they're ready to keep Brown in the private sector and out of the Senate. Brown's simple response? "Whatever." Love this guy.

Oh, and thanks to the Senate Republican Conference and the President. This wouldn't have happened otherwise. Wink

Maybe he's running, but isn't that background a holdover from his 2012 campaign?

Looks like we'll be dumping cash into this one.

And Bill Clinton, most likely.

Scott Brown is an odd duck. Always claiming he's more important than he really is.   Claims he has meetings with kings and queens, seen classified photo of Osama bin Laden, was heading back to DC because he had inside information that president made some sort of fiscal cliff proposal (he didn't at that point) I understand why many people in my state like Chris Christie, I don't get the attraction to Scott Brown.

Yeah, like many other fake moderates, he's painfully overrated.

I found out the other day that one of my cousins in Boston is getting married on June 15th. It would be awesome if the Special was June 18th (or later) so I could fit in some volunteering that weekend. Smiley

Didn't Brown start out leading Warren by 20 points?

Agreed.

Former Senator Brown is no longer an incumbent, and he no longer has a clean reputation after the way he and his campaign behaved during the previous election.

Fortunately for him this election isn't during an presidential or even midterm election and he's not going up against a heavyweight like Senator Warren.

I'm not too excited, but I'd much prefer Senator Brown to Senator Markey or, worse yet, Senator LYNCH.

Also, a 22 point lead early on ain't shabby, let's hope it sticks as long as it can, especially if Markey and Lynch brutalize each other in the primary.

The Dems will squeeze JPK3 like a lemon next year if Brown wins.

Ok, at first I thought Brown was being ballsy (responding "Whatever" to someone). Now I'm wondering if he has sort of lost it. Check the tweets before those three.

And four hours before all of these "whatever" tweets, he said he was going to a show for his daughter. Draw your own conclusions as to what could have happened over those four hours. Tongue

Looks like he was referring to the show when he said, "Yes. Get ready."

He doesn't take well to criticism does he?

EDIT: Looks like he's deleted the responses to the critics.
