A Little Context


The non hysterical people speak. Via Taegan-

Ezra Klein: "If Scott Brown wins today, Democrats go from having the largest Senate majority since the 1970s to... the second largest Senate majority since the 1970s. They go from 60 votes for health-care reform to 59. Republicans haven't had a majority this large in generations."

Andrew Sullivan: "The FNC/RNC machine will describe it as a crushing referendum on health insurance reform and Obama, period. The trouble with this analysis is that Scott Brown has actually supported a near carbon copy of the Obama plan on a state level, and his opposition to the Senate bill is primarily that Massachusetts already has universal health insurance, so what's in it for his state?"
