And we're off. With 21% of the precinct vote in, Republican Gomez leads Democrat Markey 52.7% to 46.9%.
Go here for results as the votes are counted ( Town by town results):
a review of Holyoke, 41% Latino
Scott Brown 3,771 (44%) Martha 4,869
Gomez 1,849 (38%) Markey 2,942 (61%)
2013 Holyoke turnout was 55% of 2010 turnout. Statewide I think was more like 65% of 2010.
So the LATINO strategy is brilliant, eh?

It has been called:
Ahh BS...Bob Kerry was a SEAL and Medal of Honor recipient and he was a disaster politician.
Jesse Ventura was UDT and he is a total nut job
John McCain ex-military...total disaster politician
John Fn Kerry, (he was in Viet Nam)...nothing to say here.
Colin Bowel, now here is a real patriot...ineffective Secretary of State and a liar and a coward for what he allowed to happen with regards to Scooter Libby.
Anyone care to add to the list??
Read that over and over Centurion316. Then tell the class again that it is bad that he lost.
I continue to be amazed at posts on FR these days. Markey was just elected to the United States Senate. What election do you think that he lost? My point was that you apparently preferred this moron over Gomez, a RINO, but not an avowed Commie. Further proof that it doesn't make sense to argue with people who have no idea what the topic might be.
Ditto.
A rino still has the R behind his/her name when committee chairs are decided. If we had real leaders like the dims, it wouldn’t be a concern if the party had a few rinos because the leadership would keep them in line or find a replacement.
It is a numbers game, the more we have the better.
Benedict Arnold. Enormous war hero -- but I wouldn't vote for him.
Thanks Norm, enjoying talking with you. I know that you will really sleep soundly tonight knowing that Markey has met with defeat. We certainly don't want any of his ilk in the House. Much better that they ply their mischief in the Senate. I must admit, you are brilliant.
Yep.
I'd rather be punched in the face than stabbed in the back.
I heard his interview on Fox News Sunday. He sounded just like a liberal dem. He was actually trying to prove he was a liberal. I bet a lot of Republicans stayed home.
I continue to be amazed that you refuse to acknowledge a simple fact of history and type post after post denying it.
Juan McAmnesty was campaigning with him. That say enough?
Glad you see what I’ve known for years;) But you just keep ducking. We all see you bereft of an answer.
LOL...but, but, he served.
Un-freaking-believable. The Pilgrims, John Adams, Paul Revere, the Sons of Liberty, the Minutemen, not to mention Squanto and Massasoit, must be turning over in their graves.
You make an assertion:
Amazing how wrong the founders were when they said its better to have an enemy at your front than in your ranks.
You refuse to provide a source for your assertion, but continue to insist that I accept it as fact. I don't accept anything as fact from those who prefer an avowed Communist to a Republican, however RINO he may be.
You must know that I will not rise to the bait.
I don't like RINO's. But, I hate Commies. Markey is a Commie, Gomez is a RINO. I don't have a problem making a choice between the two. Apparently you do. Enjoy the party.
Boston strong. /
I honestly forget this was tonight. Nice job with the “Latino” vote there Mr. Gomez.
10 point loss? Brown would have won, what a waste. Hell maybe Sullivan could have won.
Someone more able than Gomez could still have a chance next year for the full term.
So now you want quotes? Lets “START” here then as you make excuses for them, I will post more...
Experience teaches us that it is much easier to prevent an enemy from posting themselves than it is to dislodge them after they have got possession.
George Washington
Is he right or wrong?
They will try to blame Cruz or Paul for the loss.
