How did we not see this coming? Scott Brown has been running ads and all over Massachusetts talks shows telling everyone there is no way Healthcare can pass as long as he gets to the senate. He promises to be the 41 vote against and kill the measure. This did not matter much as he was Republican running in Massachusetts for Ted Kennedy’s seat. Then a Boston Herald poll said he was only behind 9 points a two weeks before the lection. Still this was not much of a concern until Rasmussen released a poll that said likely the keyword is likely voter showed Scott Brown trailing Martha Coakley by only two points. That woke Washington and sent the backdoor room deals scrambling. The new plan is to make sure if Scott Brown wins to hold up the official swearing until after the measure is pushed through the senate. This seems underhanded and almost impossible to orchestrate. If you think about it if Attorney General Martha Coakley did lose the vote would be close enough for her to ask for a recount and those wheels move slow. At every step of this Healthcare we have though there was a way to stop it. Every time we find a way to stop it they find a way to end around the plan. This last blow makes everything seem hopeless and 30 million people, who refuse to pay for covered like the rest of us, will get it and we will pay for them too.
