BOSTON (AP) -- Nearly one year to the day after President Barack Obama was sworn into office as an agent of change, Massachusetts Senate candidates battled to the wire Monday in an election that threatened his agenda and reflected voters' frustration with the status quo....

All I know is that nobody in the GOP should get excited, as this race is definitely within the 18% margin of ACORN.
Well considering Obama rejected requests earlier in the campaign to help Coakley win, I am sure they all thought this was an "easy win". Only in the last few days has Obama and company took action to try and help her win, the problem is, they will not learn a thing from this. A republican has not won a Senate seat from Mass. sense 1972......... 1972......... But now the mostly democrat and independent area is close to electing a Conservative on the eve of some of the most socialist legislation America has ever seen.........and I bet Obama and the rest of the elite will never even consider why even the very liberal people of Mass. are rejecting him and his actions....... If not for the extreme left agenda, this seat would have been a slam dunk, but even the normally very liberal people of Mass. are going "wait a minute, this is just way too much". If the conservative does not win, it will only be because of the independent who is running that will take votes away from the Republican. A Libertarian named Kennedy (no relation) is refusing to step down from the election so he will get some of the votes that would normally go to a republican canidate, I just hope he does not hand the win to the Democrat.
