Over at Newsweek, the editors have compiled a list of the “10 biggest political upsets in recent American history.” Scott Brown, of course, holds the number-one spot, but also on the list is this classic, with a delightful shot from election night:

1970 New York Race for U.S. Senate
James Buckley and Charles Goodell
Buckley, a member of the Conservative Party of New York and a political neophyte (though brother William F. Buckley Jr. was the patron saint of American conservatism), won a seat for the U.S. Senate against liberal Republican incumbent Goodell. Goodell was appointed to the Senate by Gov. Nelson Rockefeller after Robert F. Kennedy’s assassination. Buckley was the first and only member of the Conservative Party to be elected to the U.S. Senate.
