scott_brownCan you hear us now DC? Probably not. But after the New Jersey and Virginia Governorship races, which went almost 2:1 for both Republican candidates, The Massachusetts special election had an even bigger margin of independents  going Republican. According to Rasmussen, Scott Brown won independents or unaffiliated voters by a 73% to 25% margin. Brown even won 23% of the vote from Democrats in the state

Coakley also barely carried a usually reliable Democratic constituency. Union workers went for her by just six points, 52% to 46%.
