| What the Senate Change Means For Reform
Mann, Thomas E. ; Ryssdal, Kai
Market Place, January 2010, online edition
Thomas Mann joins Kai Ryssdal of American Public Media's Marketplace to discuss what happens to President Obama's agenda with Republican Scott Brown winning the Massachusetts senatorial seat. "I have no doubt that Obama and the Democrats will press forward with the jobs bill. And they will dare the Republicans to filibuster that bill. So in the end, Republicans may defect from their party, their united opposition to anything on the Obama agenda, and they may be able to pass that bill, in spite of having lost one Democratic seat."
A congressional scholar, Tom Mann writes and speaks widely on issues related to campaigns; elections; campaign finance reform; and the effectiveness of Congress.
