I cant say I disagree with this.

BOSTON—John
Kerry says his Senate colleague Scott Brown won his election in January not so much because of a pro-Republican wave but the "terrible campaign" run by the Massachusetts Democratic Party.


The Democrat tried Wednesday to keep an arm's length from the criticism, saying "news media" reports had blamed a lackluster campaign by Attorney General Martha Coakley and the state party.

But Kerry said the Democrats have come roaring back in Massachusetts because they staunchly defended their view of government and their choices for the country's future.

Democratic Gov. Deval Patrick won re-election, and all 10 of the state's 10 House seats remained in Democratic hands, despite a national GOP wave giving Republicans control of the House and an increased margin in the Senate.

3. how true, this is one seat we could and should have

hopefully we will get it back in 2 years .

i was really worried for Patrick after Brown won. but it's good to see hard work does matter.

4. I am less confident about who will win in 2012. It largely depends of the candidate.

If we have a candidate that can campaign and knows there is a life beyond 495, he has a good chance. If we nominate a guy from Boston who cant place Western Mass on the map (like Baker did in this election), we lose. I felt we had won when Baker did this interview on Channel 22 Springfield and was pwned by the interviewer for quoting Gardner and Grafton as part of Western Mass. Talk about not understanding the state.
