Bill Hudak, Republican congressional candidate in John Tierney's
district, has not been universally embraced by mainstream Massachusetts Republicans
-- in fact, when Hudak announced that Scott Brown had endorsed him,
Brown quickly denied it and forced a retraction.
That cold
shoulder is due to some rather disturbing and, some might say, nutty
opinions Hudak has expressed, such as once suggesting to journalists
that he had documentation proving that Barack Obama was born in Kenya.
