So much for that 41st vote, eh, Scott? Is your daughter still available?
Scott Brown is one of the luckier people in political history. He won the election purely because of timing and the fact that everyone thought he would the 41st vote and end the health care bill.
In a normal year without the health care situation he wouldn’t have come close. If health care had already passed he wouldn’t have come close. If the dems had say 55 votes and his vote meant nothing he wouldn’t have come close.
It was really the perfect storm for him. He’ll likely vote for Kagan as well.
