1. Ed Brooke was not right wing

As I recall, Brooke wanted to run as a Democrat, but the Massachusetts Democratic Party was not interested in him. That's why he joined the Republican party.

I also recall that Brooke met his first wife (who was Italian)during World War II when he was in Italy. I remember people saying that Italians voted for him because his wife was such a good campaigner in Italian areas.
