Any article which tries to say what the Republicans should do, especially on health care, that doesn’t mention Scott Brown’s win in Massachusetts is worthless, such as this one from Time. Time lays out 5 reason why the Republicans should let go of health care:

1. What happens when, as President Obama put it to the Democratic House Caucus on Saturday, “lo and behold nobody is pulling the plug on granny”?

2. Repeal the bill?

3. In opposing reconciliation the GOP would, in some cases, be opposing things that they, um, actually like.

4. The courts have a long history of federal law taking precedent over state laws: ahem, Medicare and Medicaid.

5. The ‘Party of No’ label.

To they 5 reasons, I have a single reason why the Republicans won’t care—Scott Brown. Somehow a Republican, running on a no-health care bill platform, was elected in Massachusetts. Last time I checked, Massachusetts was a pretty Democratic state. If there is discontent in Massachusetts, there is discontent everywhere. That might change, but as long as the Democrats continues to ignore ways which create real jobs and instead spending money on political favors, Americans will continue to be ticked off.

An discussion of what the Republicans will do that doesn’t include Scott Brown, completely misses the hope the Republicans have to achieve sweeping wins in November. This is especially true since so far, President Obama has proved successful at helping to elect exactly one person—himself.
