Time for some payback......
If Scott Brown were to win Kennedy's seat and went to Washington and demanded to be seated immediately, wouldn't it be serendipitous to make him wait a couple of months like they made Franken wait? Payback's a bitch. We could pass healthcare before he was even seated.

1. It would be seen as childish and there would be a backlash.

4. NO .. backlash is when voters remember your childishness in November and vote against you for it.

3. If the election is close enough that just might happen.
Those pesky recounts can take a long time.

5. Franken won narrowly
So if Brown wins narrowly, then yes, it may be premature to seat him immediately.

6. Well if the election was close enough the Dems could take it to court
and delay it long enough for health care to pass while the courts got around to ruling on it.
