There has been a lot of prognostication over how Scott Brown won in Massachusetts (a Republican in Massachusetts?!? that's like a tree growing in Brooklyn!). Was it Obama? Was it Coakley? Was it national health case? Was it that Massachusetts already has health care? Was it the magical unicorn that blocked everyone in Massachusetts from voting except for Scott Brown's family (available daughters and all!)? Well, this is now being followed up with whether this victory can be replicated in another blue(ish) state: Illinois.
People. You're missing the most obvious reason for the victory: It's not that big of a surprise that a male candidate with a history of beefcake modeling would, you know, win in the gayest state in the country.
