I'm not shocked. It kind of shows how the republicans really are still struggling for an identity. A couple of months ago they were not happy with the republican candidate running for congress in a district in New York. The republicans had held that seat since the civil war. They didn't think the candidate that was running was conservative enough so Gingrich, Palin and others found another candidate that didn't even live in the district, but was more conservative and they brought him in to run against her. So the original republican candidate drops out and endorses the democrat and yells about how the right wingers are hijacking the party. The democrat wins and the republicans are not happy.

However, this Brown guy is a pretty liberal republican based on his state voting record, yet oddly the party is okay with him. It is kind of funny to me.
