I'm currently getting into a for loop with all the rows I want:

page = urllib2.urlopen(pageurl)
soup = BeautifulSoup(page)
tables = soup.find("td", "bodyTd")
for row in tables.findAll('tr'):

At this point, I have my information, but the 

<br />

tags are ruining my output.

What's the cleanest way to remove these?
