This woman looks terribly desperate. I'm starting to think that the Kennedy seat may actually be taken over by a conservative.

“Martha Coakley’s new negative ad represents everything that discourages young women from getting involved in politics,” Ayla Brown, 21, told reporters at the Omni Parker House Hotel in downtown Boston. “And as a young woman, I’m completely offended by that. Her attack on my dad is completely inaccurate and misleading and, once again, I’m offended. My dad would always stand up for the rights and needs of rape victims. And he’s kind, understanding, and he’s a very compassionate father.”

Scott Brown was not at the event, sending his daughters instead as his chief surrogates. Ayla Brown -- who is no stranger to public appearances as a former "American Idol" contestant and a Boston College basketball player -- and her sister, Arianna, were joined by about a dozen other women who are supporting Scott Brown's campaign.

The dispute is over a 2005 amendment that Scott Brown sponsored in the state Senate. The amendment would have allowed a doctor, nurse or hospital to deny rape victims an emergency contraceptive if it “conflicts with a sincerely held religious belief.”
