It’s not Scott Brown who’s getting the blame on the Left, but Ben Nelson. Christina Bellantoni writes:

Democrats are privately admitting the deal they made with Sen. Ben Nelson on Medicaid funding for Nebraska was a major factor in souring the America people on the health care reform bill.
Senate leadership inked a deal in December to win over Nelson (D-NE), allowing him to insert pro-life language in the measure and to secure federal funding for the cost of any Medicaid expansion in what has now been dubbed the “Cornhusker kickback.”
It’s been the target of lawsuits and scorn from both the right and the left, and leaders in both chambers believe it ultimately will be stripped from the final measure, whenever one surfaces.
Instead of considering more dealmaking to get a final health care bill passed, Democratic sources privately acknowledge that Nelson’s compromise did more harm than good. Several sources said it tops a list of problems that have hurt the health care process.
