During an interview with WCVB in Boston, Patrick was asked if he thought the ads are a good campaign strategy for Brown.

"Senator Brown has turned into a Bay State birther, for goodness' sake," Patrick said, referring to individuals who believe President Obama was born outside the United States. "And it doesn't have anything to do with solutions to help the people of Massachusetts."

5. Senator Brown isn't a serious enough person for office

His votes are based on his undoing Ed Kennedy's legacy and life long work. His claim to fame is a flash of sleaze in a magazine.
How this race can even be close is a mystery.
