Massachusetts elected him for decades. One of his main issues was reforming healthcare. It is interesting that Massachussetts voters decided to discontinue that legacy and instead go with Scott "41st vote against healthcare" Brown. I can't really blame Massachusetts, though. From what I hear, Martha Coakley ran a poorly led campaign. She was given the Democratic Party nod of approval and she wasted her chance. She could have easily been senator now had she just tried.
