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.

Coakley was arrogant. She was seen apartment hunting in D.C. a few days after The Globe noted she was 17 points ahead. Wasn't long after that that Brown started to surge in the polls. This state has been over run by corruption, cronyism and nepotism for longer than I can remember. We've had more than a few high ranking political figures either indicted or under investigation by the Feds all of whom are/were Democrats. The Democrat governor has lower approval ratings than Bush at his worst. Part of the reason Brown won was on his Obamacare stance. I believe another part is people saw Martha as just another piece of the problem here in MA.
I am hoping this is the first in a series of upset election victories here.
Oh, and by the way Will, it's not Kennedy's seat, its a Senator's seat.
Just saying...
