Voting for Scott Brown Is Stupid

I’m serious. If you live in Massachusetts and vote for Scott Brown (or that other confusing “Kennedy” guy)  today, I will never forgive you.

Martha Coakley is a terrible, awful, no good, nearly worthless candidate—there were far better alternatives—but if  you don’t vote for her you are effectively voting against extending health insurance coverage to some 30 million people. There’s a decent chance you’re one of them!

There’s also the fact that Scott Brown is a crazy wingnut, but at this point I’m less concerned with that and more worried about the fate of national health care reform resting in the hands of a few moderate voters who are sick of the Kennedys.
