so without Scott Brown that won't happen.

THis is the reason why I quit voting republican ages ago. Even if you have a nice moderate, pro-choice republican, these republicans will still caucus with the anti-choicers and rarely are they given positions of power in the majority.

Sometimes they wise up and leave the party like Jim Jeffords and Arlen Specter. Other times they just end up losing to some rabid right-wing looney tooney like Mike Castle.
