"Help Us, Scott Brown. You're Our Only Hope."

No, I haven't heard a campaign ad with that actual phrase. But some have come close.

Our cable provider serves us up a lot of "Massachusettes" stations. Which have essentially become unwatchable, because every other ad is a Scott Brown ad. Or an anti Scott Brown ad. And they're the same ads, over and over.

That's not much of an exaggeration. The Democratic candidate for the US Senate seat, Martha Coakley, has basically given up on trying to persuade people to vote for her. Instead, the ads point out that Scott Brown is a puppy-blending, kitty-kicking Republican. This parody, by a Beantown talk station, isn't too far off the mark:
