This morning at 8:15 , Democrat Martha Coakley conceded the race and called Republican Charlie Baker to congratulate him on his victory in the Massachusetts governor’s race.
Coakley has scheduled an 11 o’clock address to supporters at her campaign headquarters in Somerville at 5 Middlesex Avenue.
Baker last night told his supporters he understands why Coakley waited until this morning, since the race was so close. The last tally has Baker up by 40,000 votes.
