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
Bump to your daughter for the news !
Post 919 is close enough-
The real problem is that we don’t know accurately the number of Dems/ Indys/ Reps who are showing up today.
Using simple (off the top of my head “registration” and “will vote for” figures): around a quarter of the Dems (36%) and 2/3 of the Indys (51%) claim “voting Brown added” to the GOP (13%), simply yields
.25x36 + .67x51 + 1.0x13 = 9+34+13 = 56% for Brown
Those numbers are all easy to come up with, but that rub is that we don’t know the percentage of each group who will show up... that is what today’s election day will tell... and that is so overwhelmingly important that I haven’t even bothered to check how accurate my numbers above are for this post.
For example, If twice the percentage of the Dems show up than Indy’s and GOP - the % for Brown falls to:
(9+17+6)/(.36+.25+.7)=41%
Whereas, if half the percentage of the Dems show, it becomes:
(5+34+13)/(.18+.51+.13)=63%
Turnout decides...
Maybe they will call it quites one minute after the polls close. /s I won’t be holding my breath.
yeah you don’t wait hours in the cold just to get free goodies from the govt.
Thank you!
Oh, it’s a felon alright, but that’s common for Dims
ONE ex.:
Rep. Barney Frank (D-MA): Judicial Watch is investigating a $12 million TARP cash injection provided to the Boston-based OneUnited Bank at the urging of Massachusetts Rep. Barney Frank. As reported in the January 22, 2009, edition of the Wall Street Journal, the Treasury Department indicated it would only provide funds to healthy banks to jump-start lending. Not only was OneUnited Bank in massive financial turmoil, but it was also “under attack from its regulators for allegations of poor lending practices and executive-pay abuses, including owning a Porsche for its executives’ use.” Rep. Frank admitted he spoke to a “federal regulator,” and Treasury granted the funds. (The bank continues to flounder despite Frank’s intervention for federal dollars.) Moreover, Judicial Watch uncovered documents in 2009 that showed that members of Congress for years were aware that Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac were playing fast and loose with accounting issues, risk assessment issues and executive compensation issues, even as liberals led by Rep. Frank continued to block attempts to rein in the two Government Sponsored Enterprises (GSEs). For example, during a hearing on September 10, 2003, before the House Committee on Financial Services considering a Bush administration proposal to further regulate Fannie and Freddie, Rep. Frank stated: “I want to begin by saying that I am glad to consider the legislation, but I do not think we are facing any kind of a crisis. That is, in my view, the two Government Sponsored Enterprises we are talking about here, Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac, are not in a crisis. We have recently had an accounting problem with Freddie Mac that has led to people being dismissed, as appears to be appropriate. I do not think at this point there is a problem with a threat to the Treasury.” Frank received $42,350 in campaign contributions from Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac between 1989 and 2008. Frank also engaged in a relationship with a Fannie Mae Executive while serving on the House Banking Committee, which has jurisdiction over Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac.
"No! You're fulla horse sh!t"
The first was from the thread poster attacking a post calling her on not providing a name for her WH contact.
The second was the one attacking her responding in kind.
It seemed to go downhill a little after that so I came back here to brightness and light.
Reid. Cannot WAIT for the POS to go down!

You know what I would love to see tonight when Sarah is on with Karl Rove, at the moment Scott Brown is declared the winner, I want Sarah to say “Greta, do you mind if I stand up and start dancing, I feel like dancing..oh happy day!”
Ooooo do blab about your call
she’s a nice lady ... long time friend from a variety of threads
You know what—I bet not one dem stands with her if/when she concedes. Well, maybe her family, but can we even be sure any of them voted for her?
Yeah it seems all the warnings are for South Orange County, til 2pm..Mission Viejo, by El Toro, Irvine, Fullerton, etc..scary stuff..its raining outside right now..we had a lot of thunder earlier around soon but now its just rain
Do they have a suicide watch yet?

You know, I think Brown’s win, as well as Bush’s victory in Florida in 2000...well..one could make the case ( if one needed to do so to a stubborn person) that they prove the existence of God. I mean..imagine this country had Gore been in the WH on 9/11..and Brown’s win has stopped Obama care dead...saving the country yet again..
