Warren Beats Brown

By Aaron Goldstein on 11.6.12 @ 10:21PM

With 40% of the ballots counted, FNC is calling the Massachusetts Senate race for Elizabeth Warren.

Alas, Scott Brown is a footnote in American political history.

I cannot say I am surprised. I went to the polls early in the morning. The lines were long and they were blue. Warren’s people have been on the ground for weeks and got out the vote. In the back of my mind, I thought Jamaica Plain isn’t necessarily representative of the rest of Massachusetts. But who the hell am I kidding? The People’s Republic of JP is representative of the Bay State. Brown’s brand of bipartisanship doesn’t sell here.

So Ted Kennedy’s seat is back in Democratic hands.
