New Hampshire Republicans See Brown as Best Shot

Former Sen. Scott Brown (R-MA) “has toyed with running for the Granite State’s Senate seat. But only in the last two weeks have many GOP leaders there begun taking Brown seriously. Whereas before they saw a fallen political star desperate for attention, they now see a possible first-tier contender genuinely contemplating a campaign,” National Journal reports.

Dylan Byers: “But here’s the thing: It doesn’t matter what the New Hampshire GOP says, or even what Brown himself says. The surest indicator of Brown’s political ambitions is what Roger Ailes, the Fox News chief and the man who writes Brown’s paycheck, decides to do with his contract.”
