Untrue. No woman had won state-wide in Massachusetts before and Martha Coakley had recently lost a race to Scott Brown. There was a lot of chatter among Dems that this was a hard state for women to win -- I heard some of this.
I believe someone who advised Warren's campaign at the time tweeted yesterday disputing this. Will try to look up.
I'll gladly concede, but just curious, did any of this show up on blogs or in the social media? Chatter in the digital age usually leaves a trail.
I think people were nervous about Warren's chances because of Brown upset win over Coakley, Warren being a prof, and also Native stuff (which Brown used). I remembered a lot of anxiety & some of it was based on idea that Mass Dems wouldn't elect egghead woman.
