Race to the finish

With last night’s win of Scott Brown in Massachusetts, many Democrats should be shaking in their boots. Their filibuster-proof super majority is now gone, and Dems need to examine what they were able to accomplish in the time they had. After this upset, as well as others in Virginia and New Jersey, it is safe to say that people are running a referendum on President Obama’s agenda.


What does this latest incident spell in terms of Obama’s agenda, especially healthcare? If you were a White House staffer, what advice would you give to the President? Should Congress push through the healthcare reform package prior to Brown’s confirmation, or will this create a further discord between Americans and the Democratic party?
