Elizabeth Warren can not be any worse than Scott Brown.

F him. Massachusetts can have her as their Senator. They're a bunch of communists anyway.

Unless Elizabeth is prepared to wear a suicide bomber belt onto the floor of the Senate, she most certainly IS worse than Scott.

Uh yeah, she is a lot worse actually. Warren is on the radical, far left. Brown is merely a RINO - a mushy moderate that denies the Democrats that seat.

And the House is not winning the payroll tax cut PR war. It looks suspiciously like Boehner and McConnell made a deal with Reid for the 2 month tax cut extension with the Keystone language in it, and McConnell delivered his votes and Boehner couldn't. This deal was considered a GOP win until the House decided it wouldn't go along. Now Boehner is making a virtue of necessity because he doesn't have the votes.

What is the end game here? The bill passed the Senate already, and because Obama accepted the Keystone stuff it makes it appear he negotiated and didn't get everything he wanted but went along anyway for the sake of bipartisanship (even though we know he was just stuck because many Senate Democrats support Keystone). The House is now out on a limb with nowhere to go. Senate Republicans are furious and don't want to come back to town. House Democrats are just having fun lampooning House Republicans. Hussein is busy saying he didn't get everything he wanted but tried to reach common ground with "responsible" Republicans. And if we don't change the dynamic in the next 2 weeks pretty much all working Americans taxes are going up because the payroll tax cut will expire. How exactly do we get a win out of this situation? It IS hurting the Republican party.

In the end, the House will likely have to pass the Senate version anyway. So what are we gaining now having bungled this fight? More than likely we are going to have to chalk this one up as a loss and come back in 2 months with everyone on the same page.

Be careful what you wish for, you just might get it. The GOP has 11 % of registered voters in MA. The rats got only 38 %, and the Indies are over 50 % of registered voters in MA. Brown is the best you're going to get in MA. Save your ire for RINOs that we can maybe do without like Snowe and Collins. The Tea Party had good results in Maine in 2010.
