Sen. Scott Brown (R-MA) knows what cohort of voters he has to win to be reelected in November: white, blue collar Democratic and independent men, and he's focusing all his efforts there. That's how he undercuts all of the actual work Elizabeth Warren has done to champion working families, and brand her as an elitist. So that's how you get this kind of performance:

FRAMINGHAM, Mass. -- On opening day of Little League season, Republican Sen. Scott Brown helps out a coach by picking up an equipment bag and carrying it to a ball field here in this town 20 miles west of Boston. The ball-capped kids sitting on the benches may not recognize the lawmaker, wearing a blue dress shirt and a Red Sox tie with tiny blue B's on it—but many of their parents do. [...]

[...] Brown is running a locally focused campaign, hoping that working-class and conservative Democrats and the growing number of independents in the Bay State see him . . . as an everyman who can legislate in Washington but come home to catch a game and throw back a cold one.

And, for some voters, it's working.

"I'm undecided but I'm leaning towards Brown," says Joe King while watching his children play. “He seems like a regular good guy; he seems like someone who comes down to a field, or someone who, if you saw him at a bar, you’d have a drink with him, you know?” King says he plans to vote for President Obama in November, but he also considers himself more of a conservative Democrat and Brown a moderate Republican.

Scott Brown: stealth Republican. While campaigning back home among these voters, he's the guy willing to cross the aisle and work with President Obama. The guy who will have a beer with anyone (depending on whether or not this is a day he's not drinking beer). But when he's his true self, in emails to national Republican donors, he's all tea party and obstruction:

"I know there are several other GOP campaigns to support, but this race is THE battleground for the United States Senate—the only sure hedge to a potential second term for President Obama," Brown wrote in the appeal.

And just like every other ordinary Joe at the Little League field he end the year struggling to get by with only 13 million in the bank
