Scott Brown for President?

No, but Drudge is teasing folks with a headline that asks if he should run for the top office in 2012. He had a very good night last night, but I don't think America is ready for another state legislator turned two-year Senate wonderboy to run for President.

Brown was asked about his victory and I think he understands pretty well how he pulled it off:

Republicans are rejoicing and Democrats reeling in the wake of Scott Brown's stunning victory over Martha Coakley in a special Massachusetts Senate election that Brown insists was not simply a referendum on President Barack Obama.

Still, Obama grimly faced a need to both regroup and recoup losses on Wednesday, the anniversary of his inauguration, in a White House shaken by the realization of what a difference a year made. The most likely starting place was finding a way to save the much-criticized health care overhaul he's been trying to push through Congress.

In one of the country's most traditionally liberal states, Brown rode a wave of voter anger to defeat Coakley, the attorney general who had been considered a surefire winner until just days ago. Her loss signaled big political problems for Obama and the Democratic Party this fall when House, Senate and gubernatorial candidates are on the ballot nationwide.

Brown, however, maintained in an interview Wednesday morning that claiming the election was a referendum on Obama would be oversimplifying what had happened there. Nor, he said, was it merely a matter of voters rejecting Coakley.

Asked on NBC's "Today" show if the election was a referendum on Obama, he replied, "No, it's bigger than that."

"I just focused on what I did, which is to talk about the issues — terror, taxes and the health care plan," he said. "I don't think it was anything that she did." Brown noted that he was able to establish himself as a strong candidate, traveling across the state "while they were in the middle of their primary. ... People enjoyed the message."

Although Martha (or Marcia) Coakley ran a truly dreadful campaign, that was not enough to cause her loss in the very liberal Commonwealth of Massachusetts. The election was nationalized and became a referendum on health care, Obama, Democrat big government/high tax plans, and general dissatisfaction with the state of things. Brown turned out to be the perfect vehicle to channel that voter outrage in a direction that could benefit him and the GOP.

However, if he's smart he'll ignore all the presidential flattery for 2012. He's not any more ready for that than Obama was and we don't need another rookie in the office. He's young enough that his day could come later. And, as Hot Air correctly points out, Brown is much more Rudy Giuliani than Sarah Palin when it comes to conservative policies. While he made a perfect candidate for Massachusetts, I'm not so sure he'd play as well in the more conservative parts of America.
