. Jeanne Shaheen had
a prominent piece on the Littleton Courier's editorial page last week complaining that
Scott Brown won't sign an agreement to limit out-of-state political
contributions. Which is interesting inside baseball, but it doesn't really
matter to me. I care about what the
candidate, if elected, might do for me, rather than where his/her campaign
money comes from. With Scott Brown, I
figure I'm getting a reasonably dependable vote against Obamacare. With Jeanne Shaheen, I know she cast the vote
that gave us Obamacare. This is the
stuff that matters, what the candidate[s] did, or might do, in office. Whether the candidate raises out-of-state
money or not just doesn't matter. At
least not to me.
And let's be real,
Scott Brown undoubtedly has a whole bunch of Massachusetts
friends who just might chip in a little money to his campaign up here. I don't see anything wrong with that. After all, I sent Scott a modest campaign
contribution back when he was running for Senate from Massachusetts.
