Scott Brown Does Not Tow Party Line

Yesterday Scott Brown voted in favor for clouture for the Senate jobs bill. This is a big deal because the Republican Party leadership portrayed him as a roadblock to the Senate Democrat adgenda. The measure passed 62-30. Other Republican Senators that came over were: Snowe and Collins from Maine, Bond from Missouri, and Voinovich from Ohio. Bond and Voinovich are retiring after this session. It is good that people are willing to cross party lines to work for Americans and the common civic good than their parties interest. Hopefully, we will see more of this in the comming months.
