Coakley Concedes


Scott Brown has won the US Senate seat, which was left vacant due to Edward Kennedy’s death. With his unexpected victory, Martha Coakley loses the Massachusett Senate Race 2010. The late Ted Kennedy held the US Senate seat for more than 46 years.
Martha Coakley had telephoned Brown and conceded the election and she also said that she would be honest about the assessment of the race. The result was heartbroken for her, as she was not expecting it. According to the reports, which issued at 9:15pm Brown was leading Coakley 52.3% to 46.7%. Martha Coakley has conceded in Massachusetts Senate race against Republican Scott Brown.
Sen. John Kerry (D-MA) also released a statement and said that he had prepeared it on Monday to save his time. He said after hearing the news that:

“proud of the speed at which Martha was able to concede the race with even fewer of the votes counted by anyone — zero in Martha’s case — than when I conceded the race for President of the United States in 2004.”
