Yesterday, Scott Brown pulled off a tremendous political upset. The Massachusetts Republican beat out Democrat Martha Coakley for the Senate seat left vacant by the late Democrat Ted Kennedy. On this, the day after Brown's improbable victory, the Web searches are pouring in on everything from Sen. Brown's victory speech to his daughter's Hollywood aspirations to his humorous defense of pickup trucks.
The victory speech
He may be a United States senator, but he's still Dad. During his victory speech, with his wife and daughters standing behind him, Brown thanked his family for their support. And then things got a little awkward. As his shocked daughters looked on, Sen. Brown said that both of his daughters were "available."
Quoting Dad: "Just in case anyone who's watching throughout the country, yes, they're both available." He then backed off his comments as the crowd hooted and hollered. "No, no. No. Only kidding, only kidding. Only kidding, only kidding," he said. "Arianna... Arianna's definitely not available." He then added, "But Ayla is."
Brown, the professional
If either of his daughters want to get back at their dad, they have some good ammo. Prior to becoming the newest United States Senator, Scott Brown was a state senator, a lawyer, a member of the National Guard, and... a nude model? Yes, that's right. In 1982, Sen. Brown won Cosmopolitan's "Sexiest Man" competition and posed in the buff (key areas were covered). The contest helped him pay for law school. And while the photo spread may be a bit embarrassing, it obviously hasn't hurt his career.
Brown, the family man
Senator Brown's jokey demeanor may have something to do with his family. After all, anybody with two college-age daughters has to have a good sense of humor. One of his daughters, Ayla, was a contestant on the fifth season of "American Idol." Though she failed to win the competition, her father's victory has put her back in the Search spotlight. Online lookups for "ayla brown" and "ayla brown american idol" both surged over 300%. His other daughter, Arianna, is a pre-med student at Syracuse University.
His wife, Gail
As numerous news outlets have pointed out, prior to his election, Scott Brown was probably the third most famous member of his immediate family. His eldest daughter was on "American Idol." His wife, Gail Huff, is a longtime news reporter for WCVB, an ABC station in Boston. Folks eager to see Ms. Huff do her thing on camera pushed searches on "gail huff news videos" and "gail huff clips" into primetime. According to her bio on the station's official site, Ms. Huff "has been recognized with numerous awards for her work with area charities."
What's wrong with pickups?
While campaigning for Ms. Coakley, President Obama took a jab at Sen. Brown's pickup truck. "I'd think long and hard before getting in that truck with Martha's opponent. It might not take you where you want to go." Well, Senator Brown had the last laugh. During his victory speech, the senator said he was going to ask President Obama if he'd like to see the truck around Washington, D.C. The senator also channeled his inner country-music star. He said he didn't mind when the president criticized him, "But let me tell you, when he started to criticize my truck, that's where I draw the line." For the record, Brown's truck is a GM. Ironically, as a taxpayer, President Obama is part-owner of the beleaguered automaker.
What's next for Martha?
Ms. Coakley's loss has put a huge dent in the Democratic plan for health care reform. In the wake of her stunning defeat, many party insiders are pointing fingers as to why Coakley lost. Not surprisingly, many of those fingers are aimed directly at Coakley for running a mediocre campaign. Others are blaming the Democratic party. And still others are blaming good ol' fashioned hubris in everybody involved. After all, how could a Republican win in one of the bluest states in the country? Overconfidence is getting pinpointed as a likely culprit.
