Welcome to the the Bay State’s Democratic primary for U.S. Senate.
A mayor virtually no one knows beats a Harvard profesor who’s not running 53%-47%.
Scott Brown (R-Yawn), take the rest of the day off.

Just to correct your math, the results were Setti 46%, Elizabeth 41%, others 13%.
And a question – 14 months before the special election, what was Scott Brown’s name recognition?
Thanks, Steve. In my excitement, I overlooked the Others.
I would guess that if one did a Starbucks cup poll in Cambridge would still result in Others being overlooked.
It’s not so bad not to report “Others”, but you rarely see skewing the percentages in reporting the results.
