were the only people with the (R) designation before their names that Brown was willing to campaign or be photographed with during his run. This is no coincidence, folks. This gets more real every minute the clock continues to tick. It's a wolfish hunger for a possible senate seat that they hope they could "win" - by hook or crook. I think Obama will surprise everyone with his announcement on his noms. I know Kerry wants this. Who in politics wouldn't? But the timing is wrong for Dems.
