Sen. Chris Dodd (D-Conn.) said Friday that it "sickens" him that
Massachusetts GOP Senate candidate Scott Brown could block healthcare reform
if elected.
Dodd, a longtime friend and ally of the late Sen. Edward Kennedy (D-Mass.),
blasted the Republican candidate to permanently fill Kennedy's seat over
Brown's stance against the health bill before Congress.
