Brasovan Weighs In On Massachusetts Race
All eyes are on the Massachusetts election tomorrow, including those of Republican congressional candidate Mike Brasovan (R).
"The Massachusetts Senate race is incredibly exciting for many reasons," said Brasovan. "Obviously the consequences are huge for Obama's agenda and healthcare specifically. However, it is also a great indicator of the nation's mood regarding Washington politics as usual. 2010 is not the same old political game. Indications are it will be a year of upheaval and our race here in District 12 will certainly benefit from this."
Political polls today indicate a Scott Brown victory by 5-10% of the vote. If that indeed happens tomorrow, many speculate the Democrats will try everything in their power to pass the healthcare bill.
"There has been a lot of talk about whether Brown will be seated in time to vote on healthcare. If the Democrats try to do anything underhanded, like delaying the admittance of a duly elected official, then they will be digging themselves that much deeper into a hole," said Brasovan. "Any Democrat that votes for healthcare with Brown's vote not being counted will be easy pickings for a challenger this year."
"I will also be surprised if the House tries to pass the Senate healthcare bill," the candidate continued. "Too many House members don't like it and it still contains the 'Cornhusker Kickback' and the second 'Louisiana Purchase.' Those provisions are very damaging to Democrats."
