You know, it occurs to me that this Shelby pork thing could be tailor-made to make Scott Brown an even bigger political force than he is. He could denounce Shelby's holds (goes toward independence), denounce the earmarks he wants (goes toward his being against wasteful spending, as he would define it), and announce that he will do what he can to see that the nominees come up for a vote (goes toward moderation). It would probably leave a good taste in peoples' mouths, and with even Clizilla declaring the old McCain gone, the establishment is going to be searching around for a new Republican to praise unabashedly.
And, you know, it's the right thing to do.
