Why didn't John Kerry prevent the suicide attack in Turkey??Follow

With time running short, Washington Republicans have begun a “full court press’’ to persuade an increasingly reluctant Scott Brown to run in the special election to replace John F. Kerry, say two leading Massachusetts GOP figures.

The eleventh-hour effort, coordinated by the National Republican Senatorial Committee, comes as those familiar with Brown’s deliberations are becoming convinced that he will not run and instead will look for a job in the private sector.

The committee has lined up some of Brown’s former Senate colleagues to mount the campaign to persuade him to run. They are telling Brown he is the party’s best and probably only hope to win the June 25 election in a state that traditionally sends Democrats to Washington, said those GOP figures, who Âdeclined to comment on the record. Brown will probably disclose his decision in the next few days.

Brown has been politically inactive and has raised no money since his defeat in November. Since he left the Senate last month, Brown has spent part of his time continuing his work as the assistant to the chief legal officer for the National Guard Bureau, at the Pentagon. His Âincome has dropped dramatically since he left the Senate, adding to the allure of the private sector.

Brown’s silence on the Senate race has created anxiety in Republican leadership ranks. The timeline for making a decision is narrowing, given the need to gather 10,000 certified signatures from voters within four weeks, which could be a hurdle if the GOP is forced to rely on a less-known backup candidate.

In December 2007, Markey became the first US politician to utilize the medium of Second Life, through which he addressed the delegates of the UNFCCC in Bali as part of OneClimate's Virtual Bali event.

Plus, he could address them all as a giant talking *****-cat.

I said he DIDN'T go in person.

Try the veal.

I nominate Clinton!
