And the First Republican Who Has Skin in the Game Abandons Romney

[Bonestorm]

Senator Scott Brown jumps ship:

Sen. Scott Brown (R-Mass.) refused to say whether he still supports Mitt Romney for president on Wednesday, a day after he distanced himself from Romney's now famous "47 percent" remarks in comments first made to The Hill.

"I made it very, very clear where I stand on these issues," he told reporters Wednesday.

But Brown hedged when asked by The Hill if Romney's comments made him hesitant to support him. "Listen, you're going to have to speak to Governor Romney about what his plans are. I'm doing what I've been doing," he said.

When asked again if he still supported Romney's campaign, Brown again avoided a direct answer.

"He's working hard to get his message out. I don't agree with him on everything but that's what being an independent senator is about: criticizing my party when it's appropriate and then praising people when they have an opportunity to do something well," he said before stepping into an elevator off the Senate floor.

He avoided a direct answer so there's some wiggle room for Brown here, but not answering a direct question about whether he still supports Romeny's candidacy is pretty remarkable.

To be honest with you. I find a politician givng a direct answer to ANY question as being rather remarkable!
