Plouffe: Brown Will Have Tough Time With McConnell

There's a huge difference between making promises during a campaign and the real world of governing. The gap between those two things is huge. I think that's what the Obama administration is up against. The average voter doesn't understand that gap, what it takes to move Congress.
David Plouffe says Scott Brown is going to run up against that.
Brown, who says he wants to work across party lines, will have a tough time with Mitch McConnell, Plouffe said. Indeed. The republican strategy hasn't been to solve problems. The GOP is bent on killing healthcare in order to kill Obama's agenda altogether. Brown seems like he's willing to work on healthcare. He says he wants individual states coming up with their own healthcare reforms. But Brown could quickly get gobbled up by the GOP.
