Mass Special Senate Election

Based on the Rasmussen poll, and Brown's online surge, there is every reason to believe that this race will be tight.

Scott Brown is a triathlete. He knows the importance of finishing strong.

There will be more polls in the coming week, and the Democratic machine surely will kick into gear.

Regardless, this race is winnable, so we all will need to dig down deep and run through the finish line.

As reported by the Boston Herald, interim Senator Paul Kirk is on record that he will vote for the Senate health care bill even if Brown wins the election if the vote takes place before Brown is sworn in. Massachusetts Secretary of State William Galvin has stated that the certification of the election result will be delayed at least until February 20, giving the Democrats a full month after the election to push through the health care bill without Brown being able to join a filibuster.

This scheme does not depend on the usual delay, for example, where there is a slight margin of victory in the hundreds of votes out of millions cast, where a recount and ballot challenges take time. The Democratic scheme will delay Brown's certification even if Brown is the clear winner.
