WASHINGTON -- Scott Brown's stunning upset in Massachusetts blew a massive hole in plans for passing health-care reform, with Democratic Sen. Jim Webb of Virginia bluntly warning party leaders not to ram anything through until Brown gets seated.
The White House and congressional Democrats had been drawing up emergency plans for how to move health care quickly in the event Democrat Marsha Coakley lost, depriving them of the 60 votes needed to overcome Republican filibusters
"How do we do it with 59?" asked Rep. Anthony Weiner (D-Queens), fearing health-care reform could be dead.
At least one plan involved slapping together a final compromise and moving it before Brown got seated -- a plan that can't work without unanimous Democratic support.

It’s lose, lose for the Demo-commies.
If they actually display some SENSE of hearing the message sent by the voters of Massachusetts yesterday = on behalf of the entire nation - and stop the Obamacare train - their wacko socialist consituents will go bonkers and their number one goal of forcing Zerocare onto an unwilling American public will be defeated!!!!
If they go full steam ahead, ramming the unwanted Healthcare bill down America’s throat, the political ramifications will be so dramatic, it will likely mean an end to the careers of more Democrats than has ever occurred in one voting year in the history of their party!
Either way - America wins!
Thank you, again, Massachusetts, Scott Brown, and God for this Miracle.
The Revolution continues apace!
Dr. O’s bill flatlining: Ponders health Plan B after big loss.............

Great title. Flat lining indeed
Viva la Revolucion!
“Is it a rebellion?” asked Louis XVI of the count who informed him of the fall of the Bastille.
“No, sire,” came the reply. “It is a revolution.”
The next few days will see a ton of trial balloons set aloft..
Amen!
Unless the Democratic Party is made up of pure granite-pates, I don't think their worry these days is the Senate.
The writing is on the wall. They ignore it at their own peril.
Plan B?
More like Plan 9 from Outer Space.
Weiner is a hot-head and a nut who is living in the wrong era.
He reminds me of the “bomb-throwing Bolsheviks” that scared people in the ‘20’s.
