It’s always interesting when the game changes.

If any readers follow the political arena (we don’t), then they’ll know that Scott Brown won the Massachusetts Senate seat this week. This is only important to the country because his vote in the Senate is expected to have a huge influence on the pending health care bill.

But back to more important topics: Scott Brown drives a GMC Canyon and he promises to continue using the Canyon as his daily driver while in office.

Yours truly wonders why anyone would want to drive a Canyon, let alone daily. However, the pledge to keep the truck as a daily driver is admirable and respectable, as Brown emulates the common man – first by having a pick-up and second – having a humble vehicle makes him easy to relate to.

Although I find it difficult to relate to anyone who drives a Canyon, it is a great marketing ploy as a political candidate. Now the Canyon needs a truck replacement the equivalent of Scott Brown. Wait, what?
