What will Democrats Strategy Involve After Scott Brown Win?

Shortly after it was announced that Scott Brown won the Massachusetts election many Democrats came out to make a number of statements about what their strategy might involve.

Jim Webb (D-VA) suggested, “only be fair and prudent that we suspend further votes on health care legislation until Brown is seated.”

Yet, many of us are already aware of Democratic discussions to fast-track the health care bill in an attempt to ram it through before Scott Brown is seated into office. Interestingly enough, these are not the only discussion taking place right now.

Rep. Anthony Weiner (D-NY) commented that it might not be a bad thing to take a step back from the health care legislation to concentrate on the creation of jobs (I’m wondering what took them so long?) while trying to add some health care into any bills relating to jobs. This idea is precisely why we need to have laws for legislation to only include amendments that directly relate to the bill they are being attached to.

There have been a number of other ideas suggested, including an option called “reconciliation”.

Harry Reid has made the statement that Scott Brown would be seated as soon as the proper paperwork is done.

Another statement by Reid reads, “Regardless of the size of their minority caucus, Senate Republicans have always had an obligation to join us in governing our nation through these difficult times. Today’s election doesn’t change that. In fact it is now more important than before for Republicans to work with us rather than against us if we are to find common ground that improves Americans’ lives.” Apparently, he is now trying to blame the Republicans for not wanting to work with Democrats when it has been the Dems who have been locking opposition out of a number of meetings. This is an issue that has brought many to believe there should be rule changes to prevent opposition from being locked out of meetings involving legislative talks. This serious issue could easily be used to block opposition on both sides of the fence and has been issue drawing concern by many concerned citizens and legislators.

Truth be known, only time will tell what the Democrats will actually do about the huge upset for Dems. in the Massachusetts Senate election.
