I think there are a few different reasons. First, by all reports she ran a bad campaign and pretty much ignored her opponent until it was too late. Second, I think the people of Mass have a health care system in place and they see how it works and those that don't like it wanted to make sure that they were able to stop the national health care bill. Third, I think some people were just annoyed with the democrats and decided to send a message.
This isn't doomsday for the democrats, but it surly got their attention and now they have to decide what they want to do with this.
