Brown vs. Coakley

Republican candidate Scott Brown surprised a country Tuesday night when he beat out Democratic candidate Martha Coakley. I followed the election on CNN.com and Boston.com. Boston.com did a lot of great things during the election including live blog updates every fifteen minutes about who was winning, and town by town results. There was not as much commenting and viewer interaction on Boston.com, but it had a lot more specific information leading up Coakley conceding. Once the election was over CNN had a very interactive website below an article headed "Brown Wins Massachusetts Senate Race" with voters firing back and forth at each other about "Republicans ruining the health care bill" and "finally some hope in Massachusetts." There has been a lot of talk about this election because in Brown's campaign he said he would vote against the health care bill. Democrats are unhappy because the "Obama change" that is supposed to be happening continues to hit speed bumps. Brown being elected could be a big speed bump for democrats.
