been self-defeating
Andy promises his long-awaited psychological
profile of Scott Brown for next week (week of September 25th)
(Manchester , NH August 20, 2014 )
Dear Granite Stater:
Let me start with a little-known insight into political
campaigns. In normal campaigns (not
the U. s.
Senate primary in New Hampshire
in 2014) the candidates get to know each other at regular appearances and
debates. Gradually a sense of camaraderie develops among the candidates. They often
strike hard blows, but not foul ones. It is because of this healing process,
which is going on even as the campaign unfolds, that candidates often appear at
“unity” events after the primary. “Party unity” is based on the principle that
parties run fair and honest elections and because of that fairness and honesty
the losing candidates support the winner. That will not happen in September in New
Hampshire .
The New Hampshire Republican Party has run a dirty campaign
supporting Scott Brown and will pay a heavy price for that dirtiness on September
10th. That is why Scott Brown is also likely to lose on Election Day.
Virtually all of my life I have been engaged in
investigation, intelligence and analysis. If you look at the list of countries
I have lived in or visited (www.AndyMartin.com) I have done a lot of
investigating, observing and analyzing. As a law student I was fascinated by
the links between law and psychology.
In 2007 I began to assemble a
“Psychological Profile on Barack Obama.” The Profile forms the first chapter in
my book, “Obama; the Man Behind the Mask.” (Yes, I probably coined the “Mask”
term.) I have a link below to the original blog posting.
Today, over seven years later, the entire nation, even
Democrats, are perplexed as to why Barack Obama cannot function in the Oval
office. I laid it all out on February
10, 2007 .
And so it was probably inevitable that as I observed Scott
Brown’s bizarre campaign behavior that I would want to do a psychological
profile of him. It is hopefully going to be ready next week.
The more I studied Brown, the creepier I felt. I finally got
to see Brown in action. Brown has avoided as many joint appearances as he can
before local Republican groups. After I spoke at a Rockingham County Republican
Committee event on July 27th I went to the back of the room to sign copies of
my book and catch a bite to eat. And then, almost as phantom, Scott Brown
slipped into the room and started repeating his talking points. He finished,
and left.
I have read Brown’s 2012 (ghost-written) “biography.” He
goes into minute detail about his miserable childhood. I was surprised when he
and his sister made a TV commercial about his unhappy childhood in the spring.
And then I saw him start delivering his Epping remarks. With his miserable
childhood as the opener.
I think I have it right: Brown had seventeen “homes” before
he was eighteen. Eight marriages between his mother and father. It was painful
to hear. At the start of his speech.
Candidates do not usually lead off with painful memories of their
childhoods. But for Brown the unhappiness and emotional deprivation of his
early years are still very much with him. To the point of creepiness.
I started reading Brown’s book from his 2012 campaign in Massachusetts
while on a short trip with a friend. I said, “This book is so depressing I can
only stand a few pages at a time.” Why would someone “write” (ghost write) a
“campaign biography” that is so depressing?
Brown’s unhappy childhood explains why he was Barack Obama’s
“favorite” Republican senator, and hopes to be again in 2015. Brown’s unhappy
childhood explains his occasionally bizarre offhanded remarks. It explains his
desire to “make deals” in Washington .
Every one of us can tell of unfortunate experiences. Sadness
and loss are a part of human life. But few of us bear our childhood pain on our
shoulders, as part of our daily personae.
I have not met Bob Smith, and I am certain he won't like me
after Thursday night. It’s hard to know what runs through Smith’s mind, though
I have an idea.
I have met Jim Rubens on several occasions. I like Jim. He
seems to be a decent person. (He may not like me either, after Thursday night.)
I don’t know anything of Jim’s family history but I don’t get the sense that
unhappiness is part of Rubens’ daily routine.
But with Brown, you can always feel the pain, the
uncertainty, the unhappiness close to the surface.
And that may be why he has not connected emotionally with
people either in Massachusetts or
New Hampshire . He is a good-looking
man and like most lawyers he is a bit of a chatterer. But underneath it all
there is the unhappiness.
Brown has raised millions for his campaign. The rest of us
are working with scraps (Rubens promises “millions,” but they have yet to
appear; sorry Jim). If Brown had been a gracious candidate, an open candidate, if
he gone out of his way to be a friend to his opponents, some of us might have
voted for him if he wins the primary. But he has been hiding from the people of
New Hampshire just as he has been
hiding from his opponents. In a
psychological sense he is also hiding from himself. In plain view.
Brown will not be at Franklin
Pierce University
Brown might have won the primary in a way that could have
sent him on to victory. But if he “wins” the primary, and that is still an open
question in my mind, he will “win” on September 9th in a way that guarantees
his defeat in November. Once again, his inner demons will have defeated him.
And I find that just plain, old-fashioned creepy.
Stay tuned.
If you disagree with me I’d love to hear your thoughts.
Loyally,
Andy
