Fresh off an astonishing underdog victory, an overwhelmed Republican U.S. Sen.-elect Scott Brown vowed not to lose his independent streak as he prepares to roll up his sleeves and head to Washington D.C. tomorrow.
Brown, during his jubilant acceptance speech on Tuesday night, did the right thing and paused to acknowledge his family.

Scott Brown is coming to Washington tomorrow. He will fly in and should be on Capitol Hill sometime between 10am and noon. Brown aides are describing this as informal courtesy calls, nothing official

“In every corner of our state, I met with people, looked them in the eye, shook their hand, and asked them for their vote,” Brown said in his victory speech. “I didn’t worry about their party affiliation, and they didn’t worry about mine. It was simply shared conviction that brought us all together.”
“Scott Brown’s victory in Massachusetts tonight reflects one certainty: Americans are ready for a new direction.

The Democrats lost their filibuster-proof majority in the U.S. Senate yesterday with the election of Scott Brown in Massachusetts. The state’s Attorney General, Martha Coakley, conceded defeat last night after a 52 – 42 percent defeat.

Republican Scott Brown’s victory in the Massachusetts Senate special election is a repudiation of President Obama’s health care reform package, political analysts, commentators and politicians widely agree.

So maybe that big health-care bill won’t pass. Either that, or the Dems will have to thread the legislative needle even as opposition to the bill is running high.

Republican Scott Brown’s upset win in Massachusetts Tuesday threatened to derail any hopes of passing a health reform bill this year, as the White House and Democratic leaders faced growing resistance from rank-and-file members to pressing ahead with a bill following the Bay State backlash.

Well, here’s , here’s one thing I know and I just want to make sure that this is off the table. The Senate certainly shouldn’t try to jam anything through until Scott Brown is seated. People in Massachusetts spoke. He’s got to be part of that process.
Then Tuesday night Scott Brown walloped Martha Coakley in the bluest state in the nation, and now some are wondering if the unthinkable is possible again. If voters are still angry in November, could Republicans recapture the Senate this year?
