so today, scott brown became a lobbyist!r a politician ever hoping to run for office again. even scott brown is smart enough to know that. this is as clear a career moment as this was. >> with this announcement that i am not seeking re-election, i determined it is best to transfer the authority of governor to lieutenant governor parnell. i have given my reasons, no more politics as usual, taking my fight for what's right for alaska in a new direction. take the words of general macarthur. he said we are not retreating, we are advancing in another direction. >> the moment sarah palin advanced in another direction, it was very clear she was quitting politics forever. but of course, the political media didn't understand that and continued to fall for the idea that someone who had quit a governorship halfway through could actually ask voters to vote for her again for president. scott brown is smart enough to know that he cannot go off and become a lobbyist, then take that dreaded occupation onto a debate stage as a candidate for

this is scott brown's full palin.' money and go for the money >>> as reported on this program last month through the research of the new republican timothy noah, the percentage of gun owners in the country has been dropping dramatically. now comes "the new york times" with a report this weekend showing the household gun ownership rate has fallen from an average of 50% in the 1970s to 49% in the 1980s, 43% in the 1990s, and 35% in the 2000s. the findings contrast with the impression left by a flurry of news reports about people rushing to buy guns and clearing gun shop shelves of assault rifles after the massacre last year in an elementary school in newtown, connecticut. regardless, the national rifle association continues to inflate its clout. last week, the nra announced it is partnering with texas motor speedway and sponsoring a nascar race in april. nra ceo wayne la pierre said nra members and nascar fans love their country and everything that is good and right about america, salute our flag, volunteer in churches
