Scott Brown upsets Coakley in Massachusetts

A little-known Republican shook up the balance of power in Washington by winning a U.S. Senate seat in Massachusetts,jeopardizing President Barack Obama's top legislative priorities and points to trouble for his party in this year's midterm elections.

Republican Scott Brown's come-from-behind victory over democrat matha Coakley gives Republicans their 41st senator, costing Democrats their 60-vote Senate majority and ensuring the minority has enough votes to block legislation.

The White House and congressional leaders now must decide how to salvage their long-sought health-care overhaul.
 
Rushing the bill after losing Massachusetts carries political risks. So does letting it collapse.
