Obama's doing pretty well with independents, and so are most of the Democratic Senate candidates. Brown's the only one who's got real trouble with them, and it's against essentially no-names (other than DeWine).Dustin Ingallshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00599131416393266722noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2799451770086337664.post-61691549153093540772010-12-15T16:13:15.470-05:002010-12-15T16:13:15.470-05:00Brown's problem is that he's a far-leftist...Brown's problem is that he's a far-leftist representing a center-right state.<br /><br />He even looks like a hippie liberal.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2799451770086337664.post-73765784076762361382010-12-15T15:18:56.832-05:002010-12-15T15:18:56.832-05:00I believe the number of "independents" h...I believe the number of "independents" has grown due to conservatives dissatisfaction with the GOP.
