I am not from Mass and I don't know many particulars about this race. But my understanding is that Capuano is very liberal and progressive. So, this is a pure case of identity politics winning -- she was a better fit on that score in the district?

He is. And he is a very decent and lovely man also. I’d say your assessment is correct.
-
Agreed. They agreed on virtually all issues. He was very proactive for the district.

Capuano is fine, and I wish him well, but I think it's high time we saw more black, brown, and female faces in Congress. Congratulations!

So it doesn’t matter if they’re incompetent?
-
But she’s not and I think it’s implied that any candidate would be more than competent.

And the News keeps saying it's a big upset for the Democrats. No it's not !! She is a Democratic. He had 10 terms. Time for him to move on and get someone with a new fresh vision in there. He did give a very nice concession speech and didn't even wait until the last minute.
-
A "new fresh vision" in which she will, by her own admission, vote exactly the same way as he does now, only with a lot less seniority. This might not have been an upset but it's pretty upsetting.
-
He has served 10 terms. Time for new blood to be pumped in. Give someone else a chance that may have new ideas. She's a Democrat. Why be upset ?

I liked Mike Capuano just fine but I am also excited for Ayana Pressley. I am rooting for her for the general election. Go Ayana!
