Former Republican Sen. Scott Brown of Massachusetts likes to joke that his sole ambitions now are to master Spanish and the electric guitar.
Increasing signs point to an added aim: A possible Senate run next year in neighboring New Hampshire against the Democratic incumbent, Sen. Jeanne Shaheen.
Mr. Brown catapulted to national attention in 2010 by winning the late Ted Kennedy's Senate seat on a wave of unease over the Democratic push to pass a national health-care overhaul.
If he runs again, it will likely be thanks to another backlash, this time over the rocky rollout of the law itself. Republicans in New Hampshire, many of them eager for Mr. Brown to get in, say Ms. Shaheen's support for the health-care law has weakened her.

The former state lawmaker and real-estate lawyer says he has got plenty of time. "I'm under no pressure and in no hurry to make a decision," he said in an email he dictated, with apologies, over his iPhone.
