Democrats had been favored to keep this Senate seat, and were in a state of shock when the Democratic candidate [[Martha Coakley]] lost her 30 point lead and fell behind Republican Scott Brown in the final week. Coakley, a party insider, proved to be an ineffective candidate who was unable to reach out to independents.

The race originally was expected to heavily favor Democrats, since there are a million more registered Democrats than Republicans. But independents are the largest bloc and they moved heavily to Brown.
