Scott Brown HQ: They kicked me off the phone because I was spending too much time on Twitter!

"Things are totally crazy here," reports Professor Jacobson from Scott Brown headquarters in Needham, MA. "The phones are ringing off the hooks. The phone bank is full." One of his Twitter followers suggests a workaround to would-be phone bankers standing in line: Use your cell phone! (Jacobson photo)

This just in from the Ernie Pyle of Tea Party II, Professor William A. Jacobson of Legal Insurrection, who's been on the Scott-Brown-as-Obamacare-referendum case forever. That would be starting the same day we jumped into the fray, December 9, the day after Brown's primary win. Jacobson has traveled across state lines from Ithaca, NY (we assume) to Needham, MA, where he's reporting live on Twitter and on his blog from Brown Headquarters' Mother of All Phone Banks. A few tweets set the scene:

Just arrived at Scott Brown HQ totally packed!

Phones ringing nonstop with support

Scott at HQ 2 rally the troops

Comment "everybody is going 2 vote 4 the guy"

We r calling indeps 2day - Rasmussen was right!

Jobs and economy r big issue w indeps

There is a line of people 2make calls

Ugh - out of phones - call from home!

Out of signs and bumperstickers

Report #1 now posted w pics

HQ just 4 hrs and exhasted - how do they do it?

"Scott dropped by to say hi to the volunteers (above photo with a hot volunteer). The parking lot was full on a Saturday," reports Professor Jacobson. (Jacobson photo)

"Things are totally crazy here," writes Jacobson in his first blogpost from the front, "Brown HQ Report #1":

The phones are ringing off the hooks. The phone bank (top photo) is full. There were a lot more people calling than shown in the photo, other rows and other rooms. They kicked me off the phone because I was spending too much time on Twitter (!) and they had people lined up to call. They need people to call from home, the link is at the website. Some other offices had openings, but not many …

I made calls and I overheard others on the phone. The response we have been getting from independents is overwhelmingly supportive. From the calls I made, people seemed genuinely angry with the current state of the economy and politics. The support was genuine, not just lip service to get me off the phone.

People are furious at the attempt to delay a certification if Brown wins. That point hits home with a lot of the people we have called.

While money is coming in, they need more to make it to the finish line in 10 days. Donate online if you can, since the phones are so busy here.

They need people to call from home. We've done on site. Tomorrow from home.

Update: Instalanche!

Update II: "What I saw today was just a snapshot of the campaign. But that snapshot showed to me a truly grassroots campaign bursting at the seams with energy and enthusiasm and support," writes Professor Jacobson in his must-read "Brown HQ Report #2.

Update III: Another lanche. Thank you, Professor Reynolds, for helping spread the word far beyond the borders. Scott Brown's 41st senatorial vote to stop Obamacare isn't just about Massachusetts. Moneybomb Monday:

We have a goal of raising $500,000 for our moneybomb to make sure we have enough resources to win on January 19th.

Please donate right now.

We just gave $100!

It sounds as if a tidal wave is building which may sweep Scott Brown into the Senate seat.

Thanks to all you are doing to try to get Scott Brown elected and stop this healthcare disaster. You are a true patriot in my eyes.

Go Scott! I'm checking in tomorrow to send my little donation to the effort. This is going to be a "shocker" to many when you cross the finish line the WINNER. God Bless America!

Thanks to the Instalanche I found your post and just donated $50. Thanks Sissy!

I donated yesterday from the "People's Republic of Washington State" and I hope that this tidal wave sweeps through our shores too, cleansing away the democrat decay in the next couple of elections. It's time to topple Patty Murray D-WA, also known as the "dimmest bulb in the Senate"- not my words, but true. We've also got a ton of other trash, like "Murtha-gate" partner in crime Norm (corruptocrat congressman for life) Dicks, to name a few.

I hope your Tidal Wave sweeps all of the RINOs also. We need to get rid of ALL of the "Professional Politicians". It is time for the general make-up of folks to start running this country again: businessmen, teachers (the real educators, not the lib-tards), doctors and lets get rid of the lawyers. Papasnake

A Republican victory? No fear. The Mass. Dems have undoubtedly been on the phone to the vote-counters (like ACORN) all week. My guess is that the fix is in for a repeat of Al Franken's "narrow win" in Minnesota.
