The Hill reports:
Sen.-elect Scott Brown, the successor to the late Sen. Ted Kennedy (D-Mass.), will be sworn in to office Thursday afternoon, giving Republicans 41 seats in the upper chamber.
“Once we get his certificate we expect to swear him in tomorrow afternoon as early as five o’clock, which is earlier than he suggested,” said Jim Manley, spokesman for Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid (D-Nev.), in an interview Wednesday.

Scott Brown is my type of Republican. A fiscal conservative and social libertarian who is pro-choice and has no problem with gay marriage. He claims that the tea party people had little to do with him getting elected and thinks that the birthers are nuts. We'll see how long it takes for the rest of the Republicans to twist his arm. I hope he remains independent.

Sorry to ask, but what's a "birther?"

Folks,
If I may be corny, The folks in MA started the NEW American revolution. Concord Bridge will stand forever in Human history.
Truly, as history has proven, the shot heard around the world.
Truly the beginning the empire where the sun never sets.
We have become the most powerful globe spanning empire the world has ever known.
A unique empire.
We don't rape and pillage, or conquer peoples and put them in bondage.
Rather,
we lift them up when we can, so they can copy our freedoms and individual striving for a better life.
...be damned if any people deny us enough ground to bury our dead on their behalf.
Screw our anti-interventionists.

Now we shall see!
Now that we have the vote to fillibuster anything in the Senate.....
Will the Republicans have the testicular fortitude to jam the communists into submission?
Get out the popcorn, folks...and lock and load.
Let's see if we have to throw MOST of the bums out in November...Republican and Democrat alike.

Ken: They better have the "testicular fortitude", otherwise, come November, every incumbent who's on the ballet then, better be filling out their resumes during their free time (which they'll have plenty of time to do, come December), looking for their new jobs.
Now I've got my first jump tomorrow (Airborne), since I came back from the giant sand box in the Middle East. And I hope that I land okay (which can be very tricky), and that once we're done, I can catch the first bus back here in time, so I can be here in time, to watch the swearing in tomorrow evening. I think, that if you listen closely enough, you might just hear, Old Ted Kennedy, spinning around in his grave (obviously, he'll be looking for his misplaced whiskey bottle).
The shot heard around the World---The 41st NO!!
Siegfried X| 2.3.10 @ 9:58PM
Brown has already said that he will vote with the Democrats sometimes. Just as Snowe, Collins, McCain, Hatch, etc. have given the Democrats their 60th vote many times in the past and will do so in the future.
It's nice to hope that the Republicans might become a conservative party again some day, but they certainly aren't now.
After all, a lot of those Republicans want the same things as Obama. Like McCain being for cap & trade and amnesty when he was the Republican presidential nominee. And Scott Brown voting for a Ted Kennedy approve health plan worse than Obama's, the Mass. plan, that Mitt Romney signed into law. Mark Kirk who won the Illinois Republican primary yesterday is a gun-banner who voted for cap & trade and is pro-abortion ...

I find it very fitting that the loss of Senator Kennedy's seat is what has caused the Democrat agenda to careen off the bridge to socialism, and hopefully die a cold suffocating death.
