THE SEAT REALLY OUGHT TO GO TO THE CENTERFOLD, NOT TO A GUY WHO CHASES THEM:

Special election gets more so: Scott Brown nude photos! (Julie Mason, 1/13/10, DC Examiner)

Something about the Republican running for Ted Kennedy's open Senate seat must have rung some bells over at Cosmopolitan. Mediate reports the ladymag sifted through the archives and found Scott Brown very naked in their June 1982 issue -- the winner of that summer's "America's Sexiest Man" contest. Hello!

Brown at the time was a 22 year-old law student at Boston College, with blow-dried hair and a whiff of the JFK Jr/Scott Baio vibe, we're thinking. So far in the race, no naked photos of Democrat Martha Coakley have surfaced -- but the election is not until Jan. 19 so anything can happen.
