Scott Brown will be sworn in today as the new U.S. senator from Massachusetts. John Gizzi of Human Events says this one vote kills any hopes of the Democrats passing their preferred version of health care legislation. He says we won’t even see a pared-down version. Gizzi also predicts immigration reform is dead before it really even starts. He says Republicans are poised to win President Obama’s former senate seat in Illinois and also make a run at the Indiana seat held by Democrat Evan Bayh.
