Or will he? Read about Plan B, via Gateway Pundit. Keep in mind that the libs will do WHATEVER it takes to push their agenda on the American people. They CARE NOT ONE BIT what we want. So take that to the bank.
Dems Announce Plans to Ram Through Obamacare with 51 Votes if Scott Brown Wins
"Democrats tonight announced that they will likely ram Obamacare through the US Senate using the reconciliation process. This would allow democrats to nationalize one-sixth of the US economy wiith only 51 Senate Democrats voting for the bill.
(H/T ColdOne)
Bloomberg reported:
'Even if Democrats lose the special election to pick a new Massachusetts senator Tuesday, Congress may still pass health-care overhaul through a process called reconciliation, a top House Democrat said.
That procedure requires 51 votes rather than the 60 needed to prevent Republicans from blocking votes on President Barack Obama’s top legislative priorities. That supermajority is at risk as the Massachusetts race has tightened.
“Even before Massachusetts and that race was on the radar screen, we prepared for the process of using reconciliation,” Chris Van Hollen of Maryland, chairman of the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee, said.
“Getting health-care reform passed is important,” Van Hollen said in an interview on Bloomberg Television’s “Political Capital with Al Hunt,” airing this weekend. “Reconciliation is an option.”
Should Democrats take that route, the legislation would have to be scaled back because of Senate rules.
He also said he expects Democratic Senate candidate Martha Coakley to win in Massachusetts.
Van Hollen said Republican predictions that the political climate had changed so much that they can capture the 40 seats needed to regain control of the House was “pure hallucination.”'
More… Martha Coakley’s internal poll for Thursday night showed her trailing Scott Brown by three points — 47 to 44 percent."
If it comes down to reconciliation, the liberals better be prepared to receive the Ben Nelson treatment when they go back to their home states. I guess they will all have to become recluses.

There's an even better way to go about this, should Brown win the seat in Massachusetts:
The House should just pass the Senate version of the bill.
They won't like all of it. I don't like all of it. But it's better than throwing it back into the lap of the Senate again.
And all you whining rightwingnuts would be left standing on the sidelines, with jaws agape. You'd have a Teabaggers' Ball or two, say some stupidly outrageous things on Faux Noise, and we'd all move on.
This administration has underestimated the American people, they thought because of their recent gains in both houses and the White House, that they have a mandate to implement any laws or policies they see appropriate without the support of the American People.
They work for us! And American's don't like to pushed!
Debra: if your going to post that idiots teabagger comment, then post my leftwing-nuts comment.
Their called Tea Party goers and the 9-12 Project people, not your friend’s sexual label for of teabaggers!
