I prefer Brown's voting record as well - I just don't prefer the man.

It may be Brown's lapse of ethics in his treatment of Paul Hackett - or it may be that the hundred Gs he's dropped on Jerome to blog on his behalf is somewhat revelatory, given the current stance of mydd.

I guess I see Brown more as a Progressive analog of John Boehner, than anything else.  Amndn as for me, I'll take integrity over PC any day of the week.

I do agree that the Senate seat is valuable.  It was hard to get.  And in general, I don't think it would be wise for Senator Obama to take away a sitting Democratic Senator or Governor.  But if it turns out there's no choice, I could live with Jim Webb as VP.
