93-97% in favor of the Dems 18 days ago. My how times have changed.
And my how I wish I had placed a bet on Brown with THOSE odds back then…
To paraphrase Winston Churchill, this is not the beginning of the end, but it is the end of the beginnning.
Looking forward, the federal government shall soon exceed its lawful debt limit. That raises a question – should the vote to raise the ceiling be delayed until Senator Brown is sworn in?
Last month Senate agreed it needed 60 votes (painless filibuster rules) to raise that debt ceiling.
Who will be the Republican Senator brave enough to prevent the government from shutting down?
Who will be the Republican Senator brave enough to realize shutting down the government might just be the right thing to do?
Very prescient. But your PJM piece seems to envision Brown running against RomneyCare; instead he came out in support of RomneyCare, and argued that Massachusetts doesn’t need national health care reform because it’s already done its part.
The fact that his victory may keep the other 49 states from getting what he supports for his own is just another irony about this race.
Sissy Willis might have carried the torch from the beginning Rand but tracing the Google history it looks like your article was the source of the Instalanche and subsequent money-bomb. Of course the Chokely gaffes and People’s Seat won the race. But it’s got to be nice to be in front like that!
Bill, I say Let the government shut down from lack of cash.
“The fact that his victory may keep the other 49 states from getting what he supports for his own is just another irony about this race.”
Technically, wouldn’t he support a state-level mandate system, and what he ran on was preventing a national-level mandate system. Not exactly ironic that.
So I guess Mass voters must really have wanted to stick it to the rest of the country, or maybe they thought that the health care bill down the pipe would have made things worse.
Nah…
Jack wins.
If the party in power has gotten rid of conference committees, they may get rid of 60-vote cloture.

That’s not the question. The question is, when the government shuts down, will Barack Obama go out for pizza, or have it delivered in his office? If the latter, who will eat the pizza with him? We already know he smokes cigarettes.
