Unfortunately in a way, Brown's victory may provide relief to dem senators that have been strong armed by their leadership to support what is clearly a highly unfavorable bill.
Until Brown's victory they were under pressure and threats of retaliation from their party's leadership and wacko fringe if they dared take a stand against the bill. Brown's victory gives them all cover as they hide behind the republicans who are with the people and willing to stand up against a poor bill.
On a related note, how many of these elections until dems representatives start to wake up and crack and break from the party? Who will be the first dem senator? Dare to think, but is it even possible for a house revolt to the extent Pelosi can't get a majority to support? Will the American voter get their voices heard over the Obama, Pelosi, Reid agenda? Seems somewhat likely two of these three are on a path of self-destruction when they next face the voter; the third on a path of losing house leadership.
