Bwahaha ... JK gets Brown to change vote on Fin bill cloture
Advertisements [?]
Here's what the article says:

http://www.boston.com/news/politics/politicalintelligence/2010/05/brown_switches.html

Brown was further convinced during a 40-mile bike ride he went on this morning with Senator John Kerry.

“We recognize that there’s going to be some fixes here, more than likely, and the conference committee,” Brown said after voting. “I’m satisfied that all of our efforts – Senator Kerry and my efforts – will benefit and protect jobs in Massachusetts.”

“I spoke at length over a 40 mile bike-ride with Senator Kerry about it,” Brown added. “He’s a very good athlete.”



Anyone else think it really went something like:

After about 20 miles JK says, look, we aren't getting anywhere in this discussion, so how's this: I'll race you to the top of the next hill. I win, you vote for cloture. Deal? Brown looks at him and thinks "sure old man!" but of course just says, "sure John, you're on!" Then JK proceeds to leave him in the dust ... Scott Brown gasping and wheezing trying to catch up ...

I dunno but that's the image that came to MY mind on reading this story. :)
