Effect of Brown's election

For the entire day I have been reading and hearing a variety of opinions as to what the election of Scot Brown to the senate will have on the health care bill, cap and trade, elections this November, and about everything else under the sun. My opinion certainly does not matter but I'll give it anyway. This will make passing the health bill as it now stands difficult if now impossible, but it could result in a bill that has some popular features, such as insurance policies being sold across state lines, coverage of preexisting conditions, and even tort reform.

Above all, I hope this will delay if not kill cap and trade and avoid wrecking the US economy.


As for effect on elections, much could happen before November.
