The Republican party candidate had not been invited, but he turned up anyway.Some of the 1,000 guests at the table with him were Democratic officials and sympathisers, who had trudged through the snow to commemorate King. They may have been surprised and uncomfortable at finding him in their midst, but this was the biggest event in Boston and Brown was not going to miss it. “I wasn’t invited. I bought a ticket,” he said.By his presence, he succeeded in upsetting once again Democratic party campaign planning, as he has been doing for the last fortnight. His Democratic rival, Martha Coakley, sat among other Democratic dignitaries on the platform but the guests showed little enthusiasm for her, greeting her speech with barely polite applause.
