Massachusetts elections told all, Rep. Brown beat out Dem. Coakley for the old Kennedy seat. Massachusetts has been a double democratic state since forever and now a Republican has won. Because Brown won, there are now 41 republican members, the magic number against the 59 democrats. They can now filibuster and stall the health care bill. Many Democrats now realize public isn't particularly happy with their stewardship. For President Obama, loss will likely force him to reconsider his legislative priorities.
