Video above from Brown's Today interview. Suderman watched Scott Brown's press conference:

Scott Brown mentioned in passing that he supports some kind of basic plan for everyone, but was against the Medicare cuts, tax hikes, and massive spending now being proposed...it doesn't make much sense. Policies that employ the machinations of government to expand coverage cost money. But it might also be a signal that Brown is open to some kind of scaled-back compromise plan. I can't think of what that would be, but I'd guess Democratic leadership is making every effort to find out.

If Scott Brown wants to keep his Senate seat, he needs to be more than a GOP wrench in the process of reform. I wonder if he's canny enough to know that. Why not an invite to the White House to find out?
