Huge Republican Win in MA

Scott Brown has picked up a huge upset of Martha Coakley in the Massachusetts special election for Ted Kennedy's seat. A Republican has not held the senate seat since 1952!

We will be discussing and analyzing this much more:

1) How will this impact the health care legislation in Congress? Remember.. there is a filibuster. What will they do?

2) What will this mean in the upcoming election for Democrats?

3) Why did Scott Brown win? What does party identification mean? Why did voters in an overwhelmingly democratic state, vote for a Republican? Was it Obama? Was it because Coakley was such a horrible candidate?

We will discuss this in detail.
