Republican Scott Brown, aided in part probably by his daughter Ayla’s voter appeal, shocked the highly pro-Democratic state by soundly defeating Martha Coakley, who was bidding to hang onto the seat for the president’s party, which had been in Democratic hands for more than half a century under the late Ted Kennedy’s watchful eye. Brown’s unlikely victory in the Senate race throws the president’s health-care bill into chaos as it reduces his margin in the upper house to 59-41, leaving the Republicans in position to block legislation through filibuster. Ayla Brown is a former American Idol contest and college basketball player. Continue reading “Brown’s full court press a stumbling block to Obama’s health-care bill in Senate” »
