Why would Massachusetts Republicans nominate a centrist proven loser?

Why did Republicans decide to go with a proven loser?
Baker lost to a popular incumbent governor. Coakley lost to a little-known state senator. Huge difference.

As a Democrat in Massachusetts. If she had lost a Senate race by 5 points in Texas, I'd say sure run her again, but Democrats in Massachusetts shouldn't lose, period.

Mass is one state that votes very indy in gubernatorial elections. I see this as Coakley loss. Not an effect on the Dem party in these midterms. We can still win in WI and FL while losing this seat.

True, they have more of a history of having Democrats lose in governor races  than Senate races, where only one *ahem* Democrat lost since 1972.
