23. Firefighters backed Brown.

Brown had the advantage of being an unknown who ran a well organized campaign and painted himself as a good guy while his opponent campaigned like a fucking zombie. A lot of expected groups supported Brown, cop organizations, police chiefs, firefighters and some surprising people like teachers, women and gays. Brown split independents too. This year Warren is peeling off big chunks of those groups, endangering Brown during that process.
