He won against a candidate who campaigned fairly lackadasicaly and in the worst year for Democrats since the late 1920's. So what happened in 2012. Incumbent Brown ran against a political neophite and lost 53 to 46. Warren isn't the Harlem Globetrotters of politics. She is a good first time candidate. She won for the same reason that the next person to run against him for Senate will likely win. Massachusetts is a Democratic state and doesn't want someone who thinks Scalia is a great justice representing them in the Senate. In 2010 he could pretend he would go to the Senate and vote for Elena Kagan, vote for unemployment extensions, and in general act like a Democrat in the Senate. Instead he went to the Senate and did none of those things. Massachusetts then threw him out. The same thing is quite likely to happen to him again in 2013.
