4. Because Brown is popular and a good and experienced campaigner

and she is not. So, it was not going to be an easy race ever. The fiasco of the ridiculous "Native American" gate should have lasted a couple hours. Because of the inability of the campaign to give an adequate answer quickly, it lasted 4 days and gave Brown the ability to use a classic GOP talking point: affirmative action is bad.

In addition, most people think MA is a democratic state. But independents are 50 % of the state. Of course, the progressive democratic base is acquired to Warren, but the unenrolled, in particular those who are not strong progressive, still do not. When Ms Warren will start addressing more than the Democratic base, I imagine she will make progress. Sadly, this has not yet happened.
