You mean the MA elections where Brown didn't run a single ad on healthcare and has himself voted for a MA healthcare reform that contains many of the provisions currently on the senate proposal?
This whole thing is mystifying to me: Obama and the democrats ran on healthcare reform, won the presidency and overwhelming majority of both houses, and have not simply approved healthcare reform because of archaic senate procedural rules, and yet a win by a guy that would be considered a commie pinko in parts of the south is supposed to be evidence that HCR is unpopular?
Just like the whole notion now that if democrats use procedural maneuvers to pass HCR before Brown takes the seat they are violating some high moral standard, while the republicans using a procedural maneuver to block it are defending the interests of the people.
