Scott Brown: Obama not invited to this party

If Brown wins, what will this do to the balance of power?

Dems no longer have sixty votes whenever Brown is sworn in. If the Democrats weren't such spineless cowards when it came to the filibuster, it would mean nothing.

Let the Republicans filibuster everything. That way, when nothing gets done because one side has decided to act like they're the ones in charge and have thrown the ball over the fence instead of trying to compromise, the evidence would be clear. However, that would take things like common sense, courage, and balls. None of which the Democrats in leadership roles have.

except the majority of the country is against the health care plan.

I'm not sure ...

It will be interesting to see how he fits into the Senate tho ...

If y'all think Collins and Snowe have problems facing pressure from their constituents to vote against their party just wait and see if Scott Brown gets elected.

When you include those who are against it for it not going far enough, yes, they are.

what was it when the public "option" was included?

Only if you include the Liberals who feel this bill does nothing. The majority of Americans are in fact for Health Care Reform.

The worst thing for the Republicans would be for them to take control of the House and Senate. Why? Because they would actually have to back up some of their bullshit. And when they can't, they'll be thrown out on the same reasoning they were put in but worse.

for reform? yes they are for that. a public "option"? I have my doubts.

Most support public option for health insurance, poll finds - washingtonpost.com

the issue that has been perhaps the most pronounced flash point in the national debate, 57 percent of all Americans now favor a public insurance option, while 40 percent oppose it. Support has risen since mid-August, when a bare majority, 52 percent, said they favored it. (In a June Post-ABC poll, support was 62 percent.)

If a public plan were run by the states and available only to those who lack affordable private options, support for it jumps to 76 percent. Under those circumstances, even a majority of Republicans, 56 percent, would be in favor of it, about double their level of support without such a limitation.

Fifty-six percent of those polled back a provision mandating that all Americans buy insurance, either through their employers or on their own or through Medicare or Medicaid. That number rises to 71 percent if the government were to provide subsidies for many lower-income Americans to help them buy coverage. With those qualifiers, a majority of Republicans say they support the mandate.
