- Democrats could be gutsy enough to try and delay seating Brown until after the vote. This would be a lot of fun to see them try and pull this one off. Great for talk radio. In the past the Massachusetts Secretary of State has ratified elections in as little as two days.
- The House Democrats could simply accept the Senate version of the healthcare bill, which means that there would be no new vote in order to send it to Obama to sign. This way, the Democrats still get some version of a healthcare bill and they don't have to worry about Brown. As Senator Tom Harkin says, it would be a "starter house." They will immediately start trying to build the additions.
- Democrats could continue to negotiate the healthcare bill and try to seal some more backroom deals that would get them another Republican vote. Maybe Olympia Snowe?
