Based on Mitt Romney's election years ago and this recent election of Scott Brown, it appears that in MA any good-looking Republican male can be elected in this mostly-progressive state. Are the voters that easily swayed by external appearances? But what really was up in MA?

But there is a huge difference between our race and this one. Scott Brown had the support of Tea Baggers *and* the Republican establishment/base, not only in MA but across the country. If Mark Kirk had not been in your race and one of the Tea Party candidates had taken the Republican nomination they would have the support of both the Tea Party movement and the entire establishment/base. From there, anything could happen, as we saw in MA. I’m not familiar with Ill. politoics, as I’m from MA. But there is a huge difference between our race and this one.
