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.
