To me, it's obvious that a state like this (where over 50% of the voters are registered Independents) is probably voting on personality etc. In other words, Teddy didn't take them for granted. He worked hard for their vote. I'm sure he was incorrect(too LIBERAL for a state where a majority are Independents) on the issues, but they weren't voting on the issues.

Obama brought out the minority vote. Coakley did not. As I pointed out in an earlier post, she insulted the hispanic community. Her whole platform was to blindly follow Obama. Obama promised transparency and to work across party lines. People aren't seeing that happen. To quote my extremely liberal nephew "he's just another politician".
