==Election of Scott Brown==

The January 2010 election of Massachusetts Senator [[Scott Brown]] is expected to change the filibuster-proof Democratic majority in the Senate. However, it is not clear how soon after the election the term of incumbent Democrat [[Paul Kirk]] - in [[Ted Kennedy]]'s old seat - will expire. Chances are Democrats will stall, to gain partisan advantage in the upcoming vote over the "[[Obamacare]]" bill (see also [[national health insurance]]).
