Everyone in Massachusetts who votes for Scott Brown will have their own reasons for their choice, but I’d like to toss out one more: If one measly inch of snow prompts Alexandria’s schools to have a delayed opening, and the local day-care follows their lead, Scott Brown has no problem pushing back a phone interview because you have a squirming two-year-old in your hands.

But I did get to chat with Scott Brown this morning, and he shared his thoughts on the state of the race:

On whether Massachusetts voters are anti-establishment this year: “Martha Coakley is part of the Democrat machine. She already has the labor bosses and the party bosses, and she had the Kennedys endorse her. She’s the insider; I’ve always been the outsider and independent-minded. Voters know that I’ve never voted for a tax increase in all the votes I’ve ever cast, and in the state legislature, I have a record of voting 99 percent of the time. The only votes I have missed were from my military service.

“People know I’m the only person who can stop the debate on this monstrosity of a health-care bill and make them go back to the drawing board. I’ve had a lot of people tell me this isn’t JFK’s party anymore. They’re all about more taxation and more spending and not looking out for everyday workers. I’m for lower taxes and less spending, and I think the best way to stimulate the economy is across-the-board tax cuts. It was true in JFK’s time, it was true for Ronald Reagan, and it’s true now.”

On Coakley’s refusal to debate Brown directly, and insistence that debates include an independent candidate by the name of Joe Kennedy: “She wants to have one-on-one talks with Ahmadinejad, but she’s not willing to have a one-on-one debate with me . . . The independent, I don’t know what he stands for, and ultimately, he’s not going to be the senator. The next senator is going to be either Martha Coakley or myself.”

On the Boston Globe’s coverage so far: “I’m a little bit surprised. They’ve been fair on the race, and it’s been refreshing to the readers here in Massachusetts. Maybe they’re taking a second look . . . I have great respect for [Globe local-politics editor] Brian Mooney. His style is rough, and his knowledge and fact-checking and ability to find the truth is second to none. He might be a little older version of me, a straight-talking guy who wants to know the facts.”

On the campaign’s momentum: “I’m out 20 hours a day each day, and I’m getting about four hours of sleep a night. I can barely talk when I wake up or when I go to bed. We’re making 125,000 phone calls out of our offices each day. I’m going to campaign like this until 8:01 in the evening on Election Day . . . Everywhere I go, I hear people say, ‘I’m voting for you, my mom is voting for you, my dad already voted for you absentee.’ And these are Democrats, people who have pictures of JFK on their mantel. This has never happened with this kind of excitement in Massachusetts.

“[Coakley] feels she’s already the senator, picking out office furniture. But this isn’t the Kennedy seat, this isn’t the Democrat seat, it’s the people’s seat. . . . I hope she stays home more.”
