Polls are open.
Senate race in Massachusetts comes down to wire Read the article here: http://www.latimes.com/news/nationworld/nation/la-na-mass-senate19-2010jan19,0,6084655.story?track=rss
Post 1000! Woohoo...:):)
TY. Starwise posted it awhile back, have him on :)
er, 1001...:):)
If Scott Brown wins he has to get a certificate from the MA Sec’y of State that says he is the winner...then Dingy Harry has to seat him.
BTW, the law the Dims passed when Romney was in office says that once the election is held the seat automatically becomes open until the winner is seated. So Kirks threats are idle.
How did she get her hands on legitimate absentee ballots beyond one and only one providing she filed a proper request??? Possession of blank bona fide ballots by anyone other than an election worker, their own ballot excepted, should be guilty of a felony. Sample ballots should be properly identified as such with no chance they would be counted if they "somehow" got into the ballot stream.
Timeout!
RNC on phone and I’m not kidding........

Thirty years ago! Wow, time flies.
I see voter fraud is alive and well. I hope that people are giving this info to the GOP
IIRC, Kerry is not up again until 2014. In a way, this is good - not a presidential year. OTOH it would be nice if he were up this Nov
Martha Coakley may have just had the shortest rally in political history. Her car swooped up to the curb here at the Boston public library and she jumped out to greet the throngs . . . of three union members holding signs. She spent about five minutes shaking hands in the rain before ducking away with her handlers. Coakley said her turnout has been “tremendous,” and predicted a win. She praised President Obama and President Clinton for coming. After she praised Clinton, NRO asked her whether she was comfortable with Clinton, the U.N.’s special envoy to Haiti, stumping for her while that nation struggled to deal with last week’s earthquake. “I think nobody tells President Clinton what he wants to do or can do,” said Coakley. “I think he said very articulately how it was best for him to be on the ground here,” and that “it didn’t make sense for him to go there.” What? She couldn’t really mean that, right? I pressed: “It didn’t make sense for him to go there?” Coakley’s response: “You can ask him.”
Coakley will appear at the Sheraton in Boston later
tonight.

Pinging my self for home reading. Go Brown Go
“However, InTrade can be such a useful tool to estimate sentiment of those who are willing to put their money where their mouth is (presumably, the bulk of such people have some confidence that they have done sufficient study to justify that). Like the stock market, the values normally reflect perceived reality.”
And, in this case, the results will basically be known in T-minus 3 hours and 52 minutes - when the polls close! :) Or perhaps about 5 hours...
BTW Rick Lazio running for NY Gov on FNC discussing Scott's winning in relation to Health Care, predicting how it will affect other elections etc.
From RCP:
Second worst anecdote I’ve seen for Marth a Coakley’s campaign, from Karen Tumulty:
Her election-eve rally at a gym in a Framingham middle school was three-quarters empty; someone on the campaign had pulled a curtain across the midpoint of the gym, so that it wouldn’t look even worse.
Worst anecdote I’ve seen for Coakley, from Glenn Thrush:
A Democratic operative familiar with Martha Coakley and the DSCC’s massive get-out-the-vote operation says that outreach workers in and around Boston have been stunned by the number of Democrats and Obama supporters who are waving them off, saying they’ll vote for Scott Brown.
These could be isolated incidents that give a distorted picture of what’s going on in Massachusetts today, but if I was on Coakley’s campaign I’d be deeply worried by them.

Can’t wait to see how some of these cities vote, like Quincy, where the Mayor endorsed Scott.
Thank you. I’ll listen to it after I finish listening to Rush (I have to listen to the replay over the internet).
I was alerted to a attack on a well liked conservative on twitter. He asked for help against attackers retweeting his posts but changing them to racist comments. They photoshopped screen shots with their changes and posted them also to make it look legit.
He started sending @spam on the attackers. One he was able to shut down was murderglenbeck or something like that.
Today, twitter shut down his account. The attackers won. I knew about other accounts being shut down but his was very public because of the attacks.
MondayHopeFS Twitter People tweet my phone numbers, accuse me of everything under the sun and you suspend me? @GregWHoward
Kids vote what they hear from their parents...this is cool.
ROFLOL!
