Is Ex-MTV star Sean Duffy the Next GOP Superstar Like Scott Brown?
Reality TV star Sean Duffy looks set to emulate Scott Brown's political success.
March 7, 2010 -- Reality show veteran and Republican Sean Duffy looks set to emulate Scott Brown's uber-sucess in politics.
Duffy was first introduced to America via MTV's "The Real World" which hit the airwaves in 1992.
Duffy met his wife Rachel Campos through "The Real World," she was in San Francisco and he was in Boston.
Now he's running for office in Wisconsin's 7th Congressional District challenging Democratic incumbent David Obey for the slot.
If these were normal times Duffy wouldn't have a hope in hell.
But these are not normal times. And Duffy brings some populist talents to the table. He is a D.A., a champion log-roller and lumberjack.
Duffy is hoping to defeat Obey using the same strategy that worked so well for Brown in Massachussetts - he aims to be more visible.
"He's absent," Duffy says. "He comes through three or four times a year. He lives in Washington, D.C. He's never here. His meetings aren't publicized."
Duffy's would-be campaign exploded after Brown's victory. Sarah Palin has rushed to endorse him and Time magazine named him as one of "10 more Scott Browns."
