That’s what Senator Kirk told me he thinks will happen. He should know – he’s the guy filling Senator Kennedy’s old seat until Brown is confirmed…

{UPDATE} The Boston Globe is telling a different story. Actually, two different stories…

Story 1 (posted at around 11 pm, about 45 minutes ago):

US Senator-elect Scott Brown is hoping to be sworn in on Feb. 11, according to Eric Fehrnstrom, his senior strategist.

Story 2 (posted at 11:30, about 15 minutes ago):

Yesterday was Brown’s first full day of work in Massachusetts since he won an upset victory last week over Attorney General Martha Coakley in the state’s special election to replace the late Edward M. Kennedy. Brown could be sworn in as soon as next week.
