So in a state that was predominatly for OBAMA, the Brown vote was not a vote against Dems, although he stood opposite EVERYTHING they stood for?  |
People voted for Brown out of anti-establishment resentment more than anything else. Coakley had a huge lead in the polls until the voters got the impression she felt entitled to the seat.
Brown simply exploited this opening and she couldn't respond.
Or do you think the Mass voters just changed their opinions on all the issues overnight?
