VIDEO: McCain, Brown Rally Voters in Melrose
Supporters came out for the Republican candidates during a Saturday morning rally.
Senators John McCain (R, Arizona), Scott Brown (R, Massachusetts) and congressional candidate Richard Tisei (R) all took the stage before an enthusiastic audience in Melrose Saturday morning.
Both Brown and McCain touted the Massachusetts senator's bipartisan reputation, and reminding voters a victory in Massachusetts could swing control of the Senate back to the GOP.
"I don't want you to go out on Nov. 6 and think, 'oh, I could've made a 100 more calls,' 'oh, I could've hung up a few more signs,'" Brown said.

Did McCain educate Brown on the finer points of writing a proper concession speech?

No, the only lesson to be taught in the Senate race is how to check a phony box on a job application.

Exciting rally, but how about the legion of Warren supporters who were outside? And the visit by distinguished Senator Max Cleland?

It's a fair point Lisa and I appreciate having the opportunity to address it:
Full disclosure: I was on my way to cover the Cleland appearance and locked my keys inside of my apartment Saturday morning, with my super out of town. It was a disaster! Basically I managed to break into my apartment (I'd rather not go into details on how, but it was some pretty cool MacGuyver-style stuff, rest assured) and get my keys, but showed up pretty late, around 9:45, with just enough time to set up for the McCain rally.
So, it's unacceptable, but I did manage to get some pictures from the campaigns and will be doing a post on it for Monday morning. Sorry about that, readers!

"The legion" of labor workers that Warren had to call in. Brown supporters were spontaneous and because they wanted to be there. Elizabeth Warren is a false facade. She will just exploit the Middle-Class for her gain not theirs. I know my income has decreased over the last 4 yrs. Oh and don't think that by raising taxes on the top 1% isn't going to also mean a tax increase for the rest of the tax payers.
Forcing me to give more revenue to the Gov't to be wasted is not going to help me, you, my family or this Great Country. Scott Brown, he is for US!

McCain educated Brown, but he also picked Palin, he served his country well but he's around the bend now.

God I can't wait for the elections to be over so this unending bickering will stop.
