Scott Brown, Moderate Republican

by Dennis Sanders on January 31, 2010

Senator Elect Scott Brown is making himself known a Massachusetts-style Republican, meaning he is a moderate. The Hill reports that Brown would depart with the GOP on some issues like the spending freeze that President Obama came up with last week as well as abortion rights.

While that might make some tea partiers upset, I for one an happy to see that there might be a little bit more room in the GOP. Maybe there is hope for a Big Tent conservatism after all.

Dennis – I don’t think the ‘moderate’ label is accurate. He’s a social liberal. Accurate branding is key to a vital future for the GOP.
