Cosmopolitan magazine, which featured nude photos of Republican Scott Brown as a young law student, is backing his Democratic opponent in New Hampshire's U.S. Senate race, saying Brown's policy positons "just aren't as solid as his abs were in the '80s."
The magazine endorsed Sen. Jeanne Shaheen on Tuesday, calling her one of the nation's most vocal and active leaders on reproductive freedom and other women's rights issues. A former governor, Shaheen is running for re-election against Brown, a former Massachusetts senator who moved to New Hampshire last year.
Brown did a nude centerfold for Cosmopolitan in 1982 after winning the magazine's "America's Sexiest Man" contest. He was a 22-year-old law student at the time.
