Literally overnight, the fledgling Republican senator who ended Democrats' filibuster-proof majority by winning a special election in Massachusetts has gone from being the darling of America's conservative activists to being their goat.

Brown joined four other Republicans on Monday in voting to block a GOP filibuster and move forward with a $15 billion jobs bill. The political blogosphere exploded almost immediately.

The conservative Drudge Report colored a photo of Brown on its home page in scarlet. Cries of "let down," "betrayal," "sell out," and "RINO" — Republican In Name Only — flew around Twitter. By Tuesday afternoon, more than 4,200 people had left comments on Brown's Facebook page, the majority of which were harshly negative.
