Brown on the run

The Boston Globe follows Scott Brown on the road, meeting voters throughout Massachusetts. Trying to convince enough to put him in the U.S. Senate.
He offers two types of rhetoric. To those fed up and with him, he implores, “You have to draw a line in the sand right now.’’
To those who are merely curious, he proposes a deal: “Consider it a test, a timed trial, because if you don’t like what I’m doing, you can vote me out in a couple of years. But wouldn’t it be interesting to see what I can actually go and do? And wouldn’t it be nice to have some diversity?’’
By diversity, he does not mean race or gender. He means electing one Republican to the state’s 12-member congressional delegation.
