If NH got Brown he would likely end up being stuck as the incumbent next go around because of the pure faggotry with political parties always anointing the incumbent by default. Nobody would have been willing to replace Brown with a better republican, because GOP mainstreamers = shit. These are the same
*******s who tried to prop up Havastain as a good idea.
So if you picked brown you would have ended up with 12 years of Brown, instead of 6 years of Shaheen and possibly 6 of (insert someone easily way better than brown here). You elect Brown and that's off the table and its just 12 years of shit at a bare minimum. (Unless republicans in NH had a plan to not toe the party line and run an independent against Brown, but because GOP = shit, this usually never happens).
Not only that but Brown became so bad, him getting in would effectively be like getting 99% of Shaheen anyways, he sucked so
****ing bad as Senator down here that he only did like ONE thing that was remotely good- he voted against confirming Kagan. That was about the only thing I remember. The other 900 times he was usually voting with Dems or designing bills with them.
If Brown had played conservative even 30% of the time he probably would have won NH handily but he failed to do even that.
