Republicans Turn on Scott Brown

Republicans Turn on Scott Brown
The Hotline reports that a small, but well-connected conservative group that supported Sen. Scott Brown (R-MA) in 2010 will actively support a primary challenge against him in 2012.

Why it may not matter: "The PAC spent about $95,000 on independent expenditure ads on Brown's behalf in the run-up to the January 2010 special election. That's a fraction of the amount other groups, like the Republican and Democratic senatorial committees, spent on the race... The $7 million he has in the bank already will give him a leg up, as well."

Why it may hurt him: "The threat of a primary challenge can't make him happy. Brown will already have a difficult general election campaign, given the Bay State's liberal nature and the roster of Democrats lining up to challenge him, and spending any time placating a Republican base won't help his chances."
