Sorry for the videos embedded in the article it makes it look kind of confusing but try to ignore them.
I would love to start discussion of outside money and how it affects political campaigns. Whether it is at the national or state level, third party money flows on both sides of the aisle. Is it a good thing? Or a bad thing? Should it be changed? Scott Brown created and signed the "People's Pledge" in Massachusetts to limit the amount of third party money being added into the campaign...and it worked. However, now that hes in New Hampshire he refuses to sign the pledge, committing a great injustice to the people of New Hampshire.
I applaud Scott Brown for the progress he made with the People's Pledge, but I want him to carry over that progress into New Hampshire. I strongly believe that campaigns should be about facts and ideas and winning over the hearts and minds of the people you will be representing. NOT using third party money to publicly slander your opponent.
What are your feelings on campaign finance?

I agree that outside money should not affect New Hampshire elections. While I am not a Scott Brown fan, and would not vote for what I consider to be a carpet bagger hunting for a senate seat, I think it is unfair to hold the peoples pledge against him. If he were to carry this over to New Hampshire there would be no point in running as Shaheen has a sizable war chest that includes outside monies. In order for this to work it really has to be agreed upon by candidates ahead of time.
