Scott Brown – close but will his new Pro-Abortion seal him off from Pro-life votes?

No matter where you happen to be or how many of them you cast.

Well, how will this play out?

Poll: Shaheen 48 Percent, Brown 46 Percent

Republican challenger Scott Brown is within the margin of error in New Hampshire’s Senate race, according to a new poll.

A new Survey USA/High Point University survey shows Democratic incumbent Jeanne Shaheen winning 48 percent of the vote to Brown’s 46 percent among likely voters. The poll has a 3.5 percent margin of error.

Crawling closer.  But this poll was conducted before Scott really thumbed the eyes of the Pro-life folks here in NH, many of which are in the GOP base with his ad that:

  • Made it absolutely clear that he is pro-abortion
  • Made it absolutely clear that he has no problem in making these Pro-life folks participate in those abortions by funneling their tax money to Planned Parenthood.

And this make him different from Jeanne Shaheen….how?  And no,

I am not a one issue voter but add this to Brown’s perceived anti-Second Amendment stances and it adds up.  If this margin holds up, it makes each and every vote crucial to Brown.  The question is, will succeeding polls show that his Massachusetts political outlook in general, and this willingness to blow up the base to appear to be to the LEFT of Shaheen on this issue, cost him dearly.

Already, I am hearing from those in the Pro-life camp that they are done with him – the clamps on their noses have been thrown away.

Note to the Rs whose only political principle is WIN; a number of folks were willing to give him a chance but this was the final step.  He’s done it to himself – let’s see if there will be a consequence.
