He came to Cornell last year to deliver a speech, and the reception afterwards was held at a fraternity house. More candidates should do this.

Scott Brown Frats It Up. It Goes Exactly As You’d Expect.

New Hampshire GOP candidate Scott Brown ditched the usual campaign trail stops on Saturday and instead attempted to bond with a younger, rowdier set of voters at the University of New Hampshire homecoming tailgate.

“I think they realize that he’s a guy that can represent them, that he’s just a normal person like everyone else,” state Rep. Joe Sweeney (R), who is also student body president at UNH, told WMUR.

Brown attended the party at the invitation of the school’s College Republicans, and by all accounts, attracted a large, enthusiastic crowd. But as anyone who has ever attended a college tailgate knows, it can be hard to control what’s going on around you — potentially posing a problem during a political campaign where optics are important.

In video posted by the New Hampshire Democratic Party, as Brown walked through the sea of tailgaters, there were shouts of “F**k Jeanne Shaheen!” and “Elizabeth Warren sucks!” referring to the Democrat from Massachusetts who unseated Brown from his Senate seat in that state in 2012.
