tv's rachel maddow. dpou hosts an hour of cable ne news, and scott brown just sent this urgent communication. you will not believe who they are supposedly trying to recruit, liberal rachel maddow. recently it was reported that the chairman of the state democratic party had tried to reach out to her in an attempt to coax her into a race against me. the democratic party bosses in massachusetts want a rubber stamp who will vote for their plans to expand government, increase debt and lower taxes. i don't think america can afford her liberal politics. she has a nightly platform to push her far left agenda. what about you? it's not entirely clear, senator brown's rational for playing the maddow card likely derives from this tweet by john walsh on march 5th. some of you are talking about you running versus brown in '12. i'm the chair of ma dem party. mr. walsh did not specify who you was in that tweet, though there was internet speculation he meant rachel maddow. of course, anything about which some are talking
