This massive defeat of a Democrat seat of 40 years will send ripples through Capitol Hill.

Longer than 40 years. Ted got the seat in 1962, taking over from a chair-warmer who held it until Ted was old enough to be a Senator. The seat was previously held by Ted's brother John F Kennedy, who won it from Republican Cabot Lodge in 1952.

So we just won a seat that had been continuously Democrat for 58 years! That's GOT to make some Dems sit up and take notice.

Willie Brown on Hannity looks despondent.
He is usually smiling away, not today.
