From a WashPost/Harvard/Kaiser Foundation poll released today, 43 percent of Massachusetts voters say they support the health-care proposals advanced by Obama and congressional Democrats; 48 percent oppose them. Among Brown's supporters, eight in 10 said they were opposed to the measures, 66 percent of them strongly so.

Consider for a moment that this poll comes from a state widely recognized as among the most liberal in the country. I think, for better or worse, Brooks is probably right.
