He was not allowed to vote.
He was elected senator from MA in a special election to fill dead Teddy’s seat, but the MA governor and legislature changed the rules so they could appoint a shill to sub for dead Teddy and vote FOR 0bolacare.
If Brown were allowed to take the vacant Senate seat immediately upon winning the special election, he would have voted AGAINST 0bolacare, and 0bolacare would NOT have passed.
On the good side of the news, Teddy hasn’t had a drink in almost 5 years.
If Brown were allowed to take the vacant Senate seat immediately upon winning the special election, he would have voted AGAINST 0bolacare, and 0bolacare would NOT have passed.
Thanks for the correction.
Actually, the vote for Obamacare would have passed WITH Brown.
Brown’s vote was going to be the 60th to end cloture. Instead, the Senate passed the bill as it sat—not needing 60 votes, but a simple majority.
Brown’s election caused a change in the strategy of the Dems. It was a step that caught a lot of people off guard. Brown did was he said he was going to do.
After that he became a MA Liberal Republican RINO, which is the best we can do lately.
I hope he wins tonight, because I detested Shaheen when I lived in NH. But if anyone is expecting Bob Smith from Brown, they will be really, really upset.
