Barney Frank's district

Hm. Why is Barney Frank being so NICE all of a sudden,as opposed to his usual behavior? Perhaps THIS has something to do with it....Brown won Barney Frank's district:

That would be Massachusetts' Fourth Congressional District.Two thirds of the state was painted red by Brown's victory, and perhaps that's why Barney is now the head rat jumping off the Obamacare ship:

"If Martha Coakley had won, I believe we could have worked out a reasonable compromise between the House and Senate health care bills. But since Scott Brown has won and the Republicans now have 41 votes in the Senate, that approach is no longer appropriate."

But, in all fairness (we are nothing, if not fair, here at LB1901) Mr. Frank was making more aggressive noises along that defeatists line just 5 days ago by proclaiming, "If Scott Brown wins, it'll kill the health bill."
