Brown Demands to be Seated
Scott Brown’s campaign for Senate made much out of some comments by Democrats that seemed to auger for a short delay in seating the winner of the Massachusetts special election.
Now that he’s won by a clear margin, there is no apparent move by Democrats to delay him.
That isn’t stopping Republicans from buying into the narrative and hosting their own efforts to demand Brown be seated immediately (something not actually legally possible right now).
Sen. David Vitter is up with a website, “Seat Scott Now,” which intimates that Democrats are “playing games about seating Scott in the Senate.” Read full story here

The Franken Precedent for Seating Scott Brown?
Republicans have done a pretty fantastic job of working the refs and making a political issue out of when Sen.-elect Scott Brown (R-Mass.) will be seated.

David Vitter (R-La.) recorded a video demanding that Democrats seat Brown immediately.
Right now, Brown is demanding that he be seated as soon as he is certified as the winner of the election tomorrow — sending him to the Senate a full week earlier than had been scheduled. The reason, according to his counsel Daniel Winslow, is that “there are a number of votes scheduled prior to that date.” Read full story here
