Senator Scott Brown switched a key vote from yesterday and joined 57 Democrats and two Republicans this afternoon in advancing a massive financial regulation overhaul.
The Massachusetts Republican said that over the last 24 hours he received assurances from the chief negotiators in the House and Senate, Senator Christopher J. Dodd, and Representative Barney Frank -- that changes he was seeking would be addressed. Those assurances came during a phone call with Frank last night, while the Newton Democrat was working out in the House members gym. Brown was further convinced during a 40-mile bike ride he went on this morning with Senator John Kerry.
We recognize that theres going to be some fixes here, more than likely, and the conference committee, Brown said after voting. Im satisfied that all of our efforts Senator Kerry and my efforts will benefit and protect jobs in Massachusetts.
I spoke at length over a 40 mile bike-ride with Senator Kerry about it, Brown added. Hes a very good athlete.

PA-12 special election for John "in cold blood" Murtha's old seat---Tim Burns, the Republican, brought in Scott Brown to campaign for him last week. That told me all I needed to know about Tim Burns.

Did Brown think his election was about athletic competition? Dunno, evidently he's an athletic supporter though.

Exactly. My only expectation of Brown was that he would try to block Obamacare. He did that.
Otherwise, I fully expected him to be a RINO.
