One of the worst things for the wide-eyed enthusiasm I used to have for politics was becoming a professional consultant.   After your 100th campaign they all start running together.

But then every once in a while you get to see and do something historic.

I didn’t know it when I built a website in October for Scott Brown, Republican candidate for US Senate in Massachusetts.  In fact, I thought that perhaps I had as much chance of becoming US Senator in MA than Scott.  Even though he was everything a candidate (and future US Senator) should be, this was Massachusetts.  Only 11% of the state is registered Republican.

But now the Scott Brown mania is literally overwhelming.  I can honestly say that I have never been a part of a more exciting campaign.  The volunteer centers are packed with MA residents waiting in line to make calls.  The Brown campaign can’t print yard signs fast enough to hand them out.  As a result, so many people have made their own signs that a local news station actually did a story on people going to Kinko’s and other office stores to do it.

And as for our world, we’ve helped Brown raise millions online and have opened up envelopes with letters from old ladies with $5 bills in them.  I’m so overwhelmed by how Brown has captured the imagination of normal MA residents and inspired them to put one of their own in office.

We’ve also helped the campaign by bringing in 210 VOIP phones for volunteers to make calls from.  I’ll post some pictures later, but it’s about as wild as I could ever have imagined.

But most importantly, victory is in the air.  We are going to win this thing.  We are going to put a Republican in office in Massachusetts.  Not a liberal Maine Republican either… an honest to goodness regular guy who has the common sense to help lead our country.

Count me reminded why I started doing this stuff 10 years ago.
