Sen. Scott Brown (R-Mass.),
who won an unexpected special US Senate election victory in January, has turned
down an invitation to attend a Sarah Palin-headlined Tea Bagger rally in Boston
this week according to a Boston Herald report.
Some suspect that Brown may
be seeking to distance himself from the wing-nut and uncontrollable Tea Baggers, who claim they helped secure his Senate win.
Larry Sabato, a University
of Virginia political scientist, said
that Brown likely wants mainstream himself before the 1012 full term election.
Brown's office, however, said that the Senator was busy in Washington and could
not leave to attend the rally that is scheduled to take place on Boston Common in his home State on Wednesday.
Scott Brown's connection with Sarah Palin has been similarly tenuous. A few weeks after his election, Brown claimed that he'd "never met the less than one-term Governor from Alaska. “She's never contacted us and vice versa," in a statement that contradicted by earlier reports from Palin spokespeople that she'd spoken with Brown on the night of the election in January to congratulate him on his victory. Apparently, Scott Brown had forgotten about the call altogether.

It looks like Senator Brown
is jilting his very date that brought him to the party, typical Republican.
