1. It's considered good form
Not a bad thing.

HE'll have to work with Brown.

7. Why the fuck will he "have to work with Brown"?
The Democrats still have an 18-vote majority in the Senate -- 16 if they grow some balls and kick LIEberman out -- and we have to kowtow to a POS like Brown? No thank you.

8. It's called having class and not being a prick.... something Republicans don't do

Another reason why he is the right man for the job.

14. That's why republicans get things push through with only 51 senators
and Democrats get compromised deals at 60 senators.

That's what Presidents do - and then there is Biden who is going to have to swear Brown in.
I'm sure they are HATING this moment, but it is what it is.

19. Maddow confirmed that the call just happened...
Classy move from Obama. Not that the right wingers would ever give him credit for that.

25. Last I checked Obama was President of both Democrats and Republicans -
- and he will be working with Brown. Of course he should call him. It's good form and its expected.

26. This reminds me of the 2008 campaigning Obama. Far more people will see this as something decent
and admirable than not. And if Obama can get Brown to utter a single nice or complimentary statement about Obama, the republican base will turn on Brown with a vile, viciousness that will sicken decent Americans. The republican base will almost certainly turn on Brown anyway. It is just a matter of time.
