When Jon Stewart was smacking down Keith Olbermann over Scott Brown (Olbermann was calling Brown every kind of backwards neanderthal "*-ist" in the book), Stewart made the point that "He's a Massachusetts Republican, which is pretty much like a gay Democrat anywhere else."

Exactly.

Remember: that any Republican was elected as Senator from Massachusetts is unusual. But, being a Republican doesn't make him conservative. Remember, he supported MassCare, the state version of ObamaCare (mandatory health insurance, with a fine assessed on the MA state income tax return for those who didn't purchase health insurance).

A Massachusetts Republican couldn't get elected as dog catcher in Texas. Was Mitt Romney a conservative? Massachusetts elected Republican governors from 1990 to 2006.

Brown has vowed to voted against nationalized health care, so good for him on that point. It got him into office so he can block that vote. But that doesn't make him a liberty advocate, nor cover his position on RKBA.

I can't find any. The major news outlets pretty much stopped releasing poll results before closing time, several years ago.
