#MASen Update: Scott Brown Ad “From The Road”; Elizabeth Warren Pretending to Ride a Motorcycle During a Campaign Stop

In Massachusetts, Scott Brown debuted his first “Scott Brown From The Road” television ad, highlighting his time growing up in the Bay State.  The Brown for Senate campaign debuted the first in a series of “Scott Brown From The Road” television ads. The first ad is titled “Growing Up” and features Brown behind the wheel of his trademark 2005 GMC pick-up truck talking to the camera about his hardscrabble upbringing.  The “From the Road” series will take Brown to different places across Massachusetts, where he will visit with people and talk about issues that matter. Each ad will open with Brown inside the cab of his truck, made famous in the 2010 special election as a symbol of his “regular guy” image.

• Additionally, the Washington Times reports that Scott Brown is a maverick who always fights for the Bay State.  Persuading Massachusetts voters to elect a Republican to a full U.S. Senate term isn’t easy, and it has left Sen. Scott P. Brown blazing a lonely trail in Washington, where he’s spent much of the year voting with Democrats — or bucking both parties altogether. … That maverick streak has left him competitive in his race against Elizabeth Warren, a consumer advocate and Democrats’ nominee to try to unseat him this year.  “For Democrats who are out for revenge, it’s harder to pin him down,” said Republican strategist Ron Bonjean.

• Finally, the Washington Free Beacon reports –Democratic Massachusetts Senate candidate Elizabeth Warren showed off her blue-collar appeal Sunday, pretending to ride a motorcycle during a campaign stop while several blue jean-clad bikers looked on with subdued enthusiasm. The feminist political organization Emily’s List, a major Warren supporter, posted the photo of Warren’s ride to Twitter Sunday afternoon.  William Jacobson of Legal Insurrection compared the photo to the famous shot of onetime Massachusetts governor Michael Dukakis riding in an Army tank during his presidential campaign against George H.W. Bush in 1988.
