2) personal - She was a lawyer running against a politician. She got out manuevered and didn't campaign at the grass roots level like Brown. I thought Brown was out much more at meetings, bus stops, etc.

2A) - People like the Yankees in Mass. but won't announce it vocally
I agree, except for the last part.
