Massachusets makes history tonight : They elect their first black governor and woman attorney general

Anything short of a miracle!

Completing one of the most extraordinary political journeys the state has ever seen, Democrat Deval Patrick today won a landslide victory over Republican Kerry Healey and two other candidates to become the first African-American elected governor of Massachusetts.

And completely amazing:

Coakley faced no challenge in the Democratic primary and coasted to a win tonight. During the campaign, her highest profile moment came when she appeared in television advertisements hailing Deval Patrick's gubernatorial candidacy.

What a night.
