The GOP poured money into this race to take out Brown, and many felt the race between the liberal Brown and conservative Mandel could be a reflection of how the presidential race would go in this crucial swing state.

As of this Senate race being called, President Obama led Mitt Romney 52.9 percent to 45.6 percent with 23 percent of precincts reporting.
