“Brown IS THE ONLY ONE WHO SPOKE UP???”

Brown is the only one they cared about since he was the only one liable to vote for the final bill. Reid knew the other Republicans would not vote for it but Brown was one of the ones Reid was counting on to vote for it. If Brown said he would vote no, then Reid knew he didn’t have the votes to pass it.

I doubt he cared. His big bank constituents centered in Boston probably gave him an earful. Check out banks in Boston.
