Gabriel Gomez is not a Scott Brown redux - POLITICO.com Print View

Interesting assessment!

Gabriel Gomez is not a Scott Brown redux - POLITICO.com Print View: "Several Bay State conservatives who supported Gomez’s opponents in the primary said they were much less motivated to work for Gomez because of a letter he sent in January asking Gov. Deval Patrick to appoint him to the vacant Senate seat. Gomez wrote that he voted for Obama in 2008 and even said he would support him on immigration and gun control.

Even as Gomez alienated some base voters, a fundraising solicitation from Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell and a campaign contribution from Newt Gingrich gave Democrats fodder to tell voters that he would be just another party-line vote."
