Republican Scott Brown wins Senate race in Massachusetts
Heads will roll.Republican Scott Brown defeated Democrat Martha Coakley in Tuesday's special election for the U.S. Senate. With 99% of the votes tallied, Brown is ahead 52 percent to Coakey's 47 percent. Scott Brown has claimed victory and delivered his speech.
The results of the election have put Democratic pundits in a tailspin. Many have stopped just short of heralding the apocalypse. You've read my articles. You know that I don't write hot-headed and prefer do my research before commenting on matters. As always, you can expect a well reasoned and articulated assessment of what happened tonight. Please be patient while I dig through all the garbage people are saying on television and the internet and figure out A) How Democrats lost Ted Kennedy's seat B) What this means for healthcare reform and C) What this means for Obama's presidency.
So in the meantime, why do you think Coakley lost? What do you think this means for healthcare reform? What do you think this means for Obama's presidency? If you didn't catch yesterday's article, I outlined Democrats' options in the event of a loss. Take a look, come back, and tell me what you think.

As far as I'm concerned she lost because she ran a crappy campaign, because Massachusetts already has great health care so people weren't focused on that, and because Mass. is mostly independents tired of seeing the Dems trip over themselves. Championing health reform is a fantastic goal; doing so for 60 years and not making much headway doesn't really help your position.
