Scott Brown is brand new on the National political scene and for that reason the republicans might consider running him for President. Why not, the tired old party with tired old ideas can only pass themselves off as viable if they provide a fresh face to conceal their tired old policies.

Perhaps it's time to stop pinning labels on people; as most of the above comments prove, not all Republicans and not all Democrats agree 100% with their respective parties.
In these difficult times we need legislators who will represent the people and the country the best they can, rather than hewing the party lines.
I'd welcome cross-filing like we used to have in California before it became as dysfunctional as Congress.

If he wants to run for President, why would he tack right? McCain (surprising many) won the Republican nomination. It was NOT won by those tacking right.

This is a man who is for the people and the people put him thier. I will put my trust in him all the way. Wake up America give him a chance.

I am pleased beyond words that Scott Brown won!
I am a life-long Democrat and I voted for Obama because he was the only choice I had in 2008. I could not vote for McCain and the Republican Party in 2008 due to their ineptness and foolishness! Times change. I now regret my vote for Obama. I would have loved to have voted for Hillary. Obama is too out of touch and too easy on terrorists. Eric Holder has to be fired for me to even consider voting for Obama in the future. My vote for Brown was a vote against Obama and against my Democratic party. I never thought I would see the day when I voted against the Democrats, but Obama did this to me.

it's so delicious that the Obama-guppies {yuppies in training} don't recognize that Brown is almost identical in experience {and background} as their One -- while the GOP wrings their hands & sniffs that he may not be conservative enough for their tastes
the trashers try to dismiss Senator-elect Brown as just another Sarah Palin in a suit -- while the Hillary camp portrayed Senator Obama as an empty suit - with no real leadership experience & meager qualifications . . . AND we all know how that turned out
by 2012 President Obama will be 51 years old -- a virtual dinosaur to the little darlings who were only 14 - 17 in 2008 . . . and yesterday's "passe technology" to the then 18 - 26 year olds with the attention span of a tweet & the memory of a nanosecond
things change - time marches on - hopes are tempered with reality . . . nothing is certain but death & taxes and yet no one can predict the future
the President is right though -- the American spirit is both unfailingly resilient & enduringly optimistic
AND 2012 is still but a blip on the horizon

I have long ago learned what I consider to be the most important lesson when judging political speech and posturing: words, no matter how many and how highfaluting, are not actions. When they spew forth from a politician's mouth, they are most often hollow and meaningless. Scott Brown is not a U.S. Senator and no one seems to know when or if he will become one. In fact, no one, except perhaps a growing number of increasingly outraged readers, seems concerned enough to ask why he has not been seated. When he is finally seated, the ship will have long ago left the port, and Brown will be left to tag along in his dingy, tossed about in the ship's turbulent wake. Anyone who has paid attention lately knows that some very critical votes have already taken place in the Senate and the Democrats' contrived supermajority has prevailed on all these votes. Brown and the Republicans appear content to let the Democrats have their way, in hopes that the latter's chances of reelection will be diminished. Is this really a good strategy for the country?
