I just witnessed a Coakley campaign stop.I was driving by and figured I'd see what her turnout would be. It was in Lynn, a blue collar city of 90,000 plus. It's a soon to be minority majority city. The event was at a popular diner in downtown. There were maybe 75+ people there, and 95% were, as I like to call them,"stagehands". Holding signs in the parking lot, and on the sidewalk. Most of the stagehands were kids 17-22 years old. And a few union types thrown in for good measure.
Before she arrived I was listening for car horns in support for her for about 10 min. Pretty quiet in my opinion. The teenage stagehands had to cajole a few times for a toot of the horn. Unless of course at the time they weren't texting which quite a few were doing instead of waving to the motorists which is what you're supposed to do.
When Coakley pulled up the stagehands did their duty and made some noise. She got out of the car which was directed where to go by some operatives and got out and did some gladhandling with the help. She met a couple of local hacks(one I know. He's a state rep. Nice guy but will tow the Dem line and will do whatever he's told).She proceeded in to the diner and I went on my way.
Other than the stagehands, no one else showed up.I'm not counting the half dozen union goons off to the side, looking bored and drinking coffee. People stopped to see what was going on, but after a minute or so, they went on their way.
On the way about a mile away I saw some Brown supporters at the Lynn/ Nahant rotary. More horns were heard including mine. The most encouraging thing that all 15 people were waving to the cars, and they all were the right age group. 30 to 50's. Taxpayers. None were being paid to be there. You can tell who is there because they want to be there and the ones who were told (or paid) to be there.
I mentioned in an earlier thread that I’m starting to see some more Coakley signs and that I’m starting to get a little nervous. After seeing Coakley’s event today I’m feeling more confident than I was earlier...
“Anyone else who has witnessed a Brown or Coakley event feel free to add on to this shameless vanity.”

Call the FBI voter fraud unit....Let them know what happened and ask them to investigate. Is your ID being stolen? Ask the state police to investigate. Is your name being used. DO IT NOW! Check your credit information and see if any cards etc have been added.
This may be more serious than you think and others may be being used also.
Thanks for the report.
or someone misdialed an area code ... let’s not go overboard here.
Good job.
Appreciate it.
The way it works here in Boston as well as every other urbanized area is that the GOTV folks have their lists and vans. They go out and collect elderly voters and bring them to the polls.....unless of course the polling place is in elderly housing in which case they go door to door floor by floor.
No big secret just very labor intensive which is where the goons come in.
The crooks are in the election department where the numbers are moved off the machines and onto tally sheets.....a quote attributed to Stalin comes to mind: It's not the votes that count but who counts the vote"
Florida also comes to mind....hanging chads?
Come on Gomez,
Ya don’t need bussloads of goons anymore,
Just a good computer guy and election boards leaning your way.
I think they steal most their vote by counting. That is the most effective way to win elections. Stalin was right.
I even saw a bunch of Scott Brown supporters with signs on an overpass on Rt. 9. It's really unprecedented here in Massachusetts.
A trip through Townsend to Lunenburg saw two dozen Brown signs and two for the butch hag.
Huh?

Thanks for the report. Very telling stuff...
Let's take a stroll down Memory Lane.

” I live in PA and I received a phone call from Pat Boone asking me to vote for Coakley.”
I’m sure it wasn’t the real Pat Boone (entertainer). He’s a conservative Christian.
