I heard more than a few people inanely state they were voting for Brown just to promote balance or something silly like that. So that's a very real possibility, just people voting on impulse. Plus, Coakley didn't really have a campaign. It's observable footprint was negligible, but I saw Brown ads, Brown signs, people holding Brown signs, etc. all over the damn place.

Interesting I didn't realize she had such a small presence in the election, my Red Sox Yankee comment was just tongue in cheek but the more I hear about the election it sounds as though Brown nearly ran unopposed. Astounding.
I have been wondering for a few years now if maybe the mass political scene was beginning to shift. From the outside looking in I've wondered if maybe the ultra liberal political scene is looked at as more of the "party of our parents" and if perhaps the younger generation of voters might be looking for something a little different.
