CongressDaily's McPike Gets it First
CongressDaily’s <a Erin McPike had the news of Massachusetts Senate hopeful Martha Coakley’s loss last night just after 9 p.m. for a two full minutes on her BlackBerry before she realized it was flashing.
But it was a full two minutes before anyone else.
McPike was first to break the news of the Coakley loss (and therefore GOP Scott Brown victory) last night. She broke the news over Twitter.
