Just a hunch but I think Browns win will be closer to 10.

I just heard a Boston talk show host on the radio here in Portland, Or...and he said that ACORN will be in the rooms where the votes are counted and that the counting will be done virtually all by rats because the GOP has no clout in Mass. since the state has been rat for so long.

This worries me...3 to 6 point isn’t enough.

I watched BOR tonight and wished they didn’t talk about the potential positive ramifications of a Brown win....counting chickens before they hatch.......I won’t let my hopes get up until the election is over tomorrow night and there is a good result.

I remember Rove telling me Hoffman was going to win in upstate N.Y. I’m praying, but not betting.

I watched O’Reilly today and saw Rove giving his thoughts.
O’Reilly is more hesitant to think Brown will win. He plays it safe, lol.

The guy that I buy into is Nate Silver and his 538 website. Yes he’s a big liberal, but his analysis is excellent and fair-handed. Tonight he’s putting Oakley with a 25% chance on this thing. We just need to certify this as zero percent chance 24 hours from now.

He just succeeds in alienating both sides. But, his show stays top rated!

He had Brit Hume on. Brit thinks that if Brown wins, it could help the dems in the long run. If Health Care is not passed, he thinks voters won't stay as angry and the dems will be more liked when 2012 rolls around!!

3 to 6 sounds about right to me. This graph averages all the polls. It's uncanny how Brown is peaking at exactly the right time:

Obama should be on board for this. MA voters have a chance to do something “historic.”

There's some sense to what he says but I hope he's wrong too. Right now Health Care is the main thing that angers the most people.

But - Obama’s favorable ratings are way down and there are so many other issues people are angry about. Especially jobs!

That's not exactly what Hume said.

Hume said that a Brown win would force Democrats to rethink their strategy and move more to the center to accomodate the middle.

Hume said that a Coakley win would encourage the Democrats to keep doing what they're doing, which is drive a single-party unpopular agenda.

I was surprised that Rove wasn't willing to entertain the issues surround removing Kirk after the election was over. Rove was solidly in the camp that Kirk was still the Senator until Brown is sworn in.

I would have liked to hear Rove discuss the past precedent in the Senate on this issue rather than be so absolute about it. O'Reilly seemed to be up on the issue.

But he did indicate “If Health Care is not passed, he thinks voters won’t stay as angry”. Right?

I admit to using caption because of my hearing and do miss bits and pieces of things. Especially if freeping too, lol.

I heard Brit say that. I think he meant that the Dems might realize how unpopular the Health Care bill is. He assumes that they will act in a logical manner and start over. If they were to do that, it WOULD be good for the Democrats. Where Brit is wrong is in thinking that the Dems are logical. They think that they will lose by NOT passing Health Care reform!

Juan Williams said yesterday on FNS that he thinks that, if the bill passes, the people will find out the "truth" about it and that they will love it. HE is the one that is "full of crap".

There was a caller on the Lars Larson Show today who was claiming that the reason 0care is so unpopular is because it does not go far enough to single payer.
