The GOP takes control of the Senate tomorrow:
Sen.-elect Scott Brown (R), the successor to the late Sen. Edward Kennedy (D-Mass.), will be sworn in to office Thursday afternoon, giving Republicans 41 seats in the upper chamber.And, they used that power so well, didn't they? It will suck that the Democrats only have an 18-seat majority.
"Once we get his certificate, we expect to swear him in tomorrow afternoon as early as 5 o'clock, which is earlier than he suggested," said Jim Manley, spokesman for Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid (D-Nev.), in an interview Wednesday.
Brown's entry into the Senate marks the formal end of the Democrats' filibuster-proof Senate majority.
