It should be noted that Sen Brown office said: Brown spokesman Felix Browne said the senator applauds the “energy and enthusiasm” Palin and the Tea Party bring to GOP politics.

The Senate is in session and Brown can’t get away. “He’ll be doing the job he was elected to do - serving the people of the commonwealth of Massachusetts,” Browne said.

I wouldn't make too much from it. All is good there. They just trying to keep Palin and Brown apart because with the two as a team... WATCH OUT

and SaturnFX-Too Funny man.

Scott Brown is a smart man for keeping his distance from this one.

The Tea Party Movement is going to fall apart any day now. With Sarah at the helm what other options do they have?

They could have at least got somebody competent. She had a hard time running the state of Alaska, what will she do with a National Grass Roots Movement.

Or, perhaps it's just cause they keep paying her to speak. Discovery probably hasn't started paying her for her "reality" series yet.

What a sad day for the Tea Party Movement. It had such potential.

Good for Scott Brown! He and any Senator or potential candidate for president in 2012 on the Republican side would do well to steer clear of the Tea Party movement. At this point it would only taint their image.

I'm glad to see some of the Republicans moving toward the center. For awhile it looked like a race as to who could get furthest out on the fringe. Witness the new governor of Virginia and his attorney general.

The right's dash to the reactionary edge could be good for Democrats in November; a move toward the center would probably be good for the GOP.

As has been said already in this thread, Brown is representing a liberal state and moving too far toward the Tea Party would probably be too extreme for a majority of the voters.

It seems that no matter where on the political spectrum a candidate begins his or her campaign, they all end up in the "center" in the end. It's the only way to last in American politics.
