BTW, do you think Scott Brown's star is shining a little less brightly tonight?
Back in January, he was being hyped as the "Great White Hope" for the GOP because he was sure to single-handedly stop Obamacare.

But now that it hasn't happened, he's just another mid-term replacement Senator who pisses off the Tea Partiers by occasionally voting with the Dems.

Thoughts?

1. I hope he gets defeated when he comes up for reelection
Who will challenge him?

7. Lots of people will seek the Democratic nomination....and his defeat is incredibly likely
His daughter said, on election night, "John Kerry is next!" Little does she realize that by the time Kerry even comes up for re-election her father will have already been defeated.

3. Ironically, I actually think that if Scott Brown had not won, we wouldn't be celebrating tonight.
That election sent shock waves into every Dem's heart and made them more determined to get something big done
and to stop putting it on the back burner.

That was the incendiary device. But it took a lot of hard work and a lot of matches to set them on fire,
or get them fired up enough to push as hard as they did.

6. SCott's never going to make them happy if he plans on a career in the Senate.
Baggers won't be electing him, the voters of Massachusetts will. A sad fact of political life that the teabagger is incapable of groking.
