Republican Scott Brown Wins Kennedy Senate Seat

In a staggering blow to President Barack Obama and Democrats nationally, Scott Brown, a little known Republican Massachusetts state senator, won a special election to replace the Democratic icon late Sen. Edward Kennedy. The race was called shortly before 9:30 pm ET by NPR and other media outlets.

The stunning result in a blue state cast doubts on Obama's ability to get his agenda enacted, especially health care reform, and seemed a repudiation, especially by independent voters, of much of what the president has done so far.

While the political world has turned upside down, especially for Democrats, the outcome wasn't unexpected. In recent weeks, it became clear that Brown was surging past Coakley.
