May well be - except that's NOT the "bottom line" in this case. the BOTTOM LINE is to get that seat - and it won't be just a victory for Brown - but the entire republican party and the entire country.
The ramifications of winning THAT seat will reverberate across this land.
When you are in a starving situation, 3/4's of the pie is better than none at all - too many 'pristine' republicans throwing the baby out with the bath water got us this administration.
So, with due respect, hold your water.
It looks like you may be thinking short term (defeating ObamaCare) while I may be thinking long term (the GOP embracing another progressive). It may work out great @ the moment, but down the road, could this be something that the GOP may later regret?
