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.

Exactly.This vote give Brown political cover and makes a splash in the media so that that the “independent” label has some meaning back home.In actuality hes taking one in the neck for the republicans going forward.Its a much smaller bill and does have some benefit for small buis.
Don’t worry Scott Brown is playing chess while everyone else is playing checkers.
