Supported by firefighter's union but not rank-and-file

We headed to Florian Hall in Dorchester, home to a million potluck dinners & retirement parties for firefighters. Firefighters had been a particular flash point in the Brown-Coakley race 2 years earlier. Although the union leadership officially endorsed Coakley, the rank and file were reported to have voted for Brown in big numbers. I'd been visiting fire stations for nearly a year, and it wasn't lost on me that a lot of the cars and pickups parked near the firehouse still bore Scott Brown stickers.
