I also believe there are people of good will on both sides of the issue and we ought to work together to support and promote adoption as an alternative to abortion."<ref>http://brownforussenate.com/issues</ref>

Rasmussen poll has 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 down by only 9 points in the final week. Coakley, a party insider, proved to Democrat challenger 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. Brown's main theme was that he would be the 41st senator and will block the Obama health care plan—which Massachusetts does not need, he explains, because it has its own plan now in operation. Coakley responded by attacking bankers and bringing in big guns like [[Martha Bill Clinton]], [[John Kerry]] and [[Barack Obama]]. Their appearance only underscored her base among Democratic party regulars; the independents rejected the old time politics by voting for Brown by 2-1. Brown had the momentum going into the final days of the campaign, and led Coakleyby an 8-10 point margin in the final polls.  The defeat for Coakley, which came on the heels of the Democrats' loss of [[Virginia]]and [[New Jersey]] gubernatorial elections in Nov. 2009, 50%was a major blow to the liberal cause and reinvigorated the Republican party nationally. A victory by Scott Brown showed that every Democrat seat, including Democratic-friendly districts, will not be secure or immune from replacement by their constituents. ===Vote analysis===In the end, Brown won chiefly because he won unaffiliated voters by a 73% to 25% margin. He picked up 23% of the vote from Democrats—in an election in which where 53% of the voters were Democrats, 21% were Republicans and 26% were not affiliated with either party. Coakley also barely carried a usually reliable Democratic constituency. Union workers went for her by just six points, 52% to 46%.<ref>see [http://www.rasmussenreports.com/public_content/politics/elections2/election_2010/election_2010_senate_elections/massachusetts/brown_wins_stunning_victory_in_massachusetts "Brown Wins Stunning Victory in Massachusetts"]</ref>  Rasmussen polls show 56% of Massachusetts voters named health care as the most important issue. Coakley actually won among those voters by a 53% to 46% margin, as those Democrats who wants Obamacare to pass voted for her. One key to Brown's victory is that 41% Strongly Opposed the health care plan while just 25% Strongly Favored it.  Other issues dominated the election. * Among the 25% who named the economy as the top issue, Brown came out ahead, 52% to 47%.* Among those who named national security as most important, Brown won 67% to 29%.* For those who saw taxes as number one, it was Brown 87%, Coakley 13%. <ref>See [http://thephoenixwww.rasmussenreports.com/BLOGSpublic_content/talkingpoliticspolitics/archiveelections2/election_2010/election_2010_senate_elections/massachusetts/a_final_look_at_massachusetts_election_night_poll Rasmussen election nightpoll]</ref> ===Final poll results===[[File:WinnerScottBrown.jpg|200px|right]]see [http://www.realclearpolitics.com/epolls/2010/01senate/05ma/coakleymassachusetts_senate_special_election-brown1144.html latest polls and crosstabs]* Politico/InAdv (released 1-polling18): Brown 52, Coakley 43 * PJM/CrossTarget (released 1-fwiw.aspx 18): Brown 52, Coakley42 * Daily Kos/R2000 (released 1-18):<br>Brown Polling48, FWIWCoakley 48 * PPP (released 1-18):<br> Brown 51, Coakley 46* InsideMedford/MRG (released 1-17): Brown 51, Coakley 41 * ARG Poll (released 1-16):<br> Brown 48, Coakley 45 * Suffolk/7News (released 1-15):<br> Brown 50, Coakley 46 * Blue Mass Group/R2000 (released 1-14):<br> Brown 41 Coakley 49 ===Endorsements===* State Police Association of Massachusetts <ref>[http://www.boston.com/news/local/breaking_news/2010/01/coakley_brown_j.html Coakley, Brown joust in heated debate, The Boston Phoenix.com, January 511, 2010]</ref> * The race is expected to favor Boston Herald* Curt Schilling* [[DemocratMitt Romney]]s heavily due having 1 million more registered Democrats than Republicans* Citizens for Limited Taxation* Doug Flutie* Worcester Telegram (owned by [[NYTimes]])* U.
