I overall like the article but will side with Brown, shockingly. Why should he have to say or do anything? Not his problem. I think there is a good argument for his own sake not to run for Senate again. He'll be forced to run again in '14, meaning 4 elections in 4 years. That's more than a House member would need to have to do!!
