Brown's primary platform is "If you want to kill the health care bill, vote for me." If he wins he will give the republicans 41 members that is enough to overcome the cloture the democrats have and it would allow them to effectively filibuster anything they wanted. So, in theory, if he wins it will give the republicans the opportunity to basically bring the senate to a halt any time they want and kill or derail any bill they want. Who knows how often they would actually do this, but if he wins it would be a big weapon for them.
