“this guy takes a first step and falls down.”

Well put.

No. I think that by allowing this to pass, it really helps the Repubs be able to say that they are not just the party of no, That if the legistlation is worthy (like job creation) they will pass it. I think that this was done intentionally for leverage in the upcoming healthcare summit. At least now they can point to this recent bill and be able to say that they don’t say no to everything, just this healthcare bill. That is my opinion ( I hope I am right)

as a matter of curiosity, I wonder how many of Kennedy's staffers Brown hired???

I read somewhere that often these new MCs and Senators are reflecting the politics of their staff.
