Rep. Debbie Wasserman-Schultz, D-Fla., one of the most liberal members of Congress, is raising the red flag ahead of next Tuesday’s special election in Pennsylvania. Her rather hysterically-toned e-mail is titled, “Another Massachusetts?”
Today, Massachusetts Senator Scott Brown travels to Pennsylvania, hoping to help Republicans pick off another longtime Democratic seat in Congress.
This is the seat that was held by the late, legendary Congressman Jack Murtha. Republicans will try to claim that a victory on Tuesday would, in the words of former House Speaker Newt Gingrich, “reverberate through the country much like the election of Scott Brown did in January.”
But Scott Brown’s visit isn’t just about symbolism – he’s there to rally the right-wingers and raise last minute cash. Republicans and shadowy outside groups are pulling out all the stops for Sarah Palin’s GOP candidate — including over a million dollars in ads!

I understand the use of Palin as an “ultrarightwing-wingnut-Repugnican bogey-man.” But Scott Brown?
