Senator Scott Brown switched a key vote from yesterday and joined 57 Democrats and two Republicans this afternoon in advancing a massive financial regulation overhaul.
The Massachusetts Republican said that over the last 24 hours he received assurances – from the chief negotiators in the House and Senate, Senator Christopher J. Dodd, and Representative Barney Frank -- that changes he was seeking would be addressed. Those assurances came during a phone call with Frank last night, while the Newton Democrat was working out in the House members gym. Brown was further convinced during a 40-mile bike ride he went on this morning with Senator John Kerry.
“We recognize that there’s going to be some fixes here, more than likely, and the conference committee,” Brown said after voting. “I’m satisfied that all of our efforts – Senator Kerry and my efforts – will benefit and protect jobs in Massachusetts.”
“I spoke at length over a 40 mile bike-ride with Senator Kerry about it,” Brown added. “He’s a very good athlete.”

Most didn’t want him on the national ticket anyway.
“Those assurances came during a phone call with Frank last night, while the Newton Democrat was working out in the House members gym.”
I would have guessed that Bawney Fwank frequents the YMCA, like the rest of his kind.

You gotta remember - this is the same gym where Rahm Emmanuel and Eric Massa walk around naked.
There seem to be some that want to try the two Liberal route: Romney/Brown or similar pairings.
Birth? Some here knew what he was in the womb.
He is EXACTLY like Arlen specter - brings home the bacon to a chosen few companies in his state and screws the rest of us who have to pay the bill for that pork. He wanted assurances that the insurance companies in his state were not hurt - how nice of him - so did he complain about the slush fund to bail out the gamblers every time their derivatives crash? after they’ve gotten their bonus/commission checks? Arghhhhh
He's pro abortion, any conservative that would pick him would be commiting political suicide.
well it will take one time for him to see they won’t keep their word while still in the majority and then we’ll see what he does
Another Bart Stupak moment...
Or McDonalds Playland.
Jeez guys, give him a break! He stopped the take over of the Health Care industry single-handily. Oh wait... never-mind.
Let me add an addendum.
No conservative POLITICIANS.
I have in-laws who are quite conservative up there.
When Snowe and "What's Her Name" vote against something, it would be wise for Brown to follow the RINOs.
Well, so far Scott Brown seems to be holding the Kennedy seat in the fine Kennedy tradition. Probably another deal he made with dead Teddy’s wife.
Wonder if a buck-naked Rahm visited him in the gym?
I know. They should be ashamed of themselves.
To hell with Scott Brown. He’s an abortionist RINO.
“Would not be surprised if he becomes a VP sometime . .
Haley Barbour/Scott Brown for example.
Or even Michelle Bachmann/Scott Brown.”
You’re insane. He’s one and done.
I can’t believe anyone is surprised by this.
Arlen Specter passes the torch.
FLUSH THE BROWN......
