Scott Brown Mum On Romney While Warren Praises Obama During Debate

Scott Brown Mum On Romney While Warren Praises Obama During Debate | Massachusetts Sen. Scott Brown (R) didn’t mention GOP presidential candidate Mitt Romney during Thursday night’s debate against challenger Elizabeth Warren. Warren, on the other hand, reiterated her endorsement of President Obama at least three separate times, but Brown — who recently distanced himself from Romney’s claim that 47 percent of Americans are “dependent upon government” — wouldn’t say the GOP presidential candidate’s name. Instead, he praised Secretary of State Hillary Clinton.

Why is he afraid to mention his party's nominee?

Scott Brown Spokeswoman Tells TPM He Still Supports Mitt Romney

Pushing back against an article in The Hill claiming that Sen. Scott Brown (R-MA) ducked two questions from a reporter as to whether he stilll back Mitt Romney's presidential run, Brown's staff confirmed to TPM that his longtime support still stands.

“Senator Brown was one of the first to support Romney for President and will continue to do so because he is the best person to put America back to work," Brown campaign spokeswoman Alleigh Marre said in an e-mail. She added that the campaign was working with The Hill to update their story.

Sent some $ to her a few minutes ago. Rare for me to donate out of my state, unless for Prea.

She is a gem and has already done wonderful work in setting up protection for consumers. Imagine what she could do as Senator!

I wouldn't mention WilLIARd either.
Truthfully he was running away from his own record faster than Usain Bolt
