Excuse me! "as early as"
Is he not the senator, in the case of such elections, the very next day!
I hope he goes straight to DC. to the Senate with GOP leader and lawyers and FOX news and demands to be seated.
It will have to be FOX news because we all know that the state-run media will give in-depth reports regarding all of the reasons and/or options available to the State of Massachusetts to preclude Scott Brown from taking the seat immediately. We know this will be coming should the R win this election. Of course, should Coakley win, Reid will demand she be seated immediately!
