Swear him in!

It’s also a pretty big question mark as to whether Democrats can hold their own congressional votes for passage — especially in the House, where all members are up for reelection. They can probably get their 51 Senate votes with reconciliation, but at this point, it’s a good guess that while Brown promised to be the 41st vote to hold back the bill in the Senate, a number of Democrats might join him.

President Barack Obama is scheduled to deliver his first State of the Union address on the 27th. If Scott Brown is not seated in that House chamber as a United States senator, all of the patriotic talk, promises and uplifting rhetoric won’t make the speech a success. It will fall on deaf ears, and Rep. Joe Wilson’s (R-S.C.) “You lie!” incident will be small potatoes compared to what could happen, not just in that chamber, but all across the country

Sen.-elect Scott Brown is a game-changer. Democrats failed to read the tea (party) leaves and are paying the price. Failure to seat Brown so he can cast his vote against ObamaCare on behalf of the people who elected him to do just that will place every House and Senate Democrat running for reelection in 2010 in greater peril than they may already be facing.
