Scott Brown IS running for the Senate in New Hampshire

 This should come as a surprise to nobody who has been paying attention but it appears as if next week Scott Brown will make it official, he is running for the Senate in New Hampshire in an attempt to unseat Democratic Senator Jeanne Shaheen.

If there was any doubt, the Granite Status has confirmed today that Scott Brown indeed is running for the U.S. Senate seat held by Jeanne Shaheen.

Brown has been telling Granite Staters and others that he intends to run and, as we reported on Sunday, he hopes to announce on or about April 9.

While it appears now that it won’t be that particular date, plans are being made, and the announcement is fully expected mid- to late next week.

  The fix is in as the establishment in Washington has thrown its weight, and its money, behind the carpetbagging Scott Brown and it is going to take a true grassroots effort in order to ensure that New Hampshire is represented by both a true conservative and a true New Hampshirite.

  Listening to local talk radio it is apparent that even putting policies differences aside there will be considerable backlash against Scott Brown on the carpetbagging issue alone, but will it be enough to stop the influence of the establishment?

  I doubt it, he will be foisted upon the voters of New Hampshire by elitists who are only concerned with helping the party and have no knowledge of the issues confronting the voters in the state.

  If Scott Brown is the Republican nominee there will be some voters who decide to vote for what they consider to be the lesser of two evils, but when all is said and done I believe the Mitt Romney effect (conservative staying home instead of voting for someone who does not share their values) will hand Jeanne Shaheen a victory in a race she should lose.

  Talk about snatching defeat out of the jaws of victory…..
