Coakley, Brown: Duh and Duh-er

Well, the polls predicted it, and now the results are in: Massachusetts Attorney General Martha Coakley (D) and State Senator Scott Brown (R) will face off in the Senate special election on January 19, joining already-declared Libertarian candidate Joe Kennedy. Perhaps more surprising than the outcome were the margins: on the donkey side, Coakley brought in 47% of the vote to Michael Capuano's 28%, while Brown (more predictably) routed Jack E. Robinson with 89% of elephant votes.
