From which we learn:
* Brown voters are mad that Obama hasn't delivered "change" - a largely contentless thing, since the change he would deliver is very different from the fantasies that many Obama voters had about the change he would deliver.
* They liked Brown better than Coakley. They liked Bush better than Gore too.
* They want Brown to be "bipartisan," though he's on the right wing of a party that isn't the least bit interested in cooperation.
In other words, this election was as meaningless as 2008's.
