The problem is he still was the better of two choices.
The Republic of Massachusetts sucks.
The operable word in your statement is "was". If we continue to remove liberal democrats in 2012 and regain the majority, people like Scott Brown become irrelevant. The only reason we would need him is to gain leverage in committee chairmanships. I can't see where he is much help to us on any issue at this point. There are several states swinging from democrat that have senators up for election in '12 who may be removable. Mr. Obama is not helping them and they are not helping themselves.
