| Description | The morning after Massachusetts state senator Scott Brown pulled off an election upset for the U.S. Senate seat left vacant by Ted Kennedy, which shocked the political world, TIME political correspondent Karen Tumulty caught up with him to talk about why it happened and what it might mean:
TIME: You told a story at your victory celebration about the first moment you realized that you had a real shot at winning this race. It was when you saw a homemade sign with your name. Can you tell me where you were and when that was?
Brown: I drive around a lot. It was in central Mass., I think up near the Lunenburg area.
So at what point in the campaign was this?
It was probably about, I'd say, a week, a week and a half after the [Dec. 8] primary. They were popping up all over the place because there was a point when we actually ran out of signs. We ran out of signs, I think, three times, and we just told people, Listen, we ran out. If you want to do something, you can maybe download something or make your own. And all of a sudden, we saw these amazing signs. When we had our first snowstorm, people actually went out and made signs out of the snow. It was incredible. On snow banks they actually would do almost snow art, and on the highways and people's trucks, and gradually we saw more and more and more handwritten signs, T-shirts, hats. |
