Democrats Struggling With Obama Bill After Scott Brown Victory


The Democratic Party in the United States is vowing to press on with President Barack Obama's health care bill. This is in spite of the massive setback they sustained yesterday, when Republican challenger, Scott Brown, scored a decisive victory in Massachusetts, a state that has been a Democratic stronghold for 50-years, due to the late senator, Ted Kennedy and his family.

The seat the Republicans have now acquired via Brown's win, greatly hampers the Democrats ability to push through legislation without the input of their counterparts across the political aisle. In light of the fact most Republicans vehemently oppose Obama's health care bill, the Democrats have their work cut out for them.
