Scott Brown is far and away the A-team and Card appears to have recognized same with his endorsement. Brown has been elected regularly by 1/40th of the state, even vanquishing a progressive standard bearer supposedly representing the best that liberalism has to offer. Brown's stance on the issues, his military background, likeable celebrity family and his ability to do the almost impossible --get elected regularly to the state Senate as a Republican-- makes him a terrific, inspiring candidate, especially against the dull Coakley. This isn't about name recognition for Brown for some future race, this is about the best chance for a Republican victory since Ed Brooke. I wouldn't be discounting Brown, especially in this field.
