Before we get to depressed let’s step back and recognize that this is Massachusetts...and not one of the great states like Oklahoma, Alabama or Idaho.
Scott Brown will hopefully vote with us at least 65% of the time...but be prepared for him to vote with the dems the other 35%. This is still a whole lot better than what we’ve seen out of Massachusetts in the last 50 years!
Exactly. And if I understand correctly they already had more Republicans crossing to vote for it than the Democrats needed. In which case, this is an especially harmless vote that can build a little of the ‘independent’ cred everyone knows he needs if he’s going to retain the seat in a couple of years. Going all ideologue on us and handing his seat to your usual closet-commie MA Democrat won’t help us or the country at all.
Well......to my knowledge, so far he's voted with the Dems 100% of the time.
