Scott Brown may be the last Republican to win a statewide fight in Massachusetts for a very long time. He caught the machine flat-footed in January 2010 when he out-hustled Martha Coakley and stole the Senate seat Ted Kennedy held all those years.

I sentimenti sono lo strumento di lavoro dei romanzieri, i colori della loro tavolozza. ↗
