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
Radio reports on Howie Carr, heavy voting in all parts of state
Here’s a sample of what the DUmmies are saying:
16. I want to cry. Really. I can’t believe that this can happen.
55. Too late. It’s too late. We are doomed. I will not watch the crowing Rebubs tonight.
53. Doomed Dems. MA is dancing on Sen. Kennedy’s grave. I am totally disgusted.
Later, ken. Keep us posted on goings on in the enemy camp. I’ll be watching Beck.
Which has me thinking that you're not really paying attention.
The Obama Bubble (balloon) just got punctured and is flying around the White House in a random pattern making noises like a Whoopie Cushion...
Intrade now at 80-20 for Brown with 2 hours exactly till polls close. First time I looked this morning he was at about 71 or so, dipped to about 67, then as high as 88 in the early afternoon, down to about 75, now back up to 80. Realize those are just a summary of people’s opinions about what will happen, not derived from poll numbers or anything, but they’re opinions those people are confident enough in to risk money on it.
That’s VERY rare, is it not? [Of course, tornados are VERY rare where I lived in CO, too, but I actually managed to snap a photo of one from my back porch...]
And, before I head home...anyone on this thread have an “in” with the Brown staff? Can it be suggested he give a short and sweet “winner’s” speech on the docks of Boston Harbor.
Tea Party, and all that, yaknow.
Bump.
Brown should really tick off Dianne Feinstein and show up in the largest hummer he can find.
She was ticked off humvees were added to the cash for clunkers credits.
True, but perhaps a thing or two can be guessed from just the absolute turnout. I think usually, special elections don't get much turnout, and then especially from the status-quo sort of voter that just votes for the incumbent, or votes along party lines anyway. That sort of voter isn't paying close attention, and doesn't really care as much... and is less likely to show up. It's the *angry* voter that *is* paying attention that is going to dominate an election... and then especially a special election. It's just my guess, but the turnout should favor the Visitors, not the Home team this time around. IhopeIhopeIhopeIhope.
He won’t accept the blame, but make no mistake — this is OBAMA’S agenda that’s being knocked offline and rejected.
He may be met on the Senate steps — Caesar-style.
Et tu, Harry?
I only tun on Chrissy when it’s election time- this is hilarious- in between Howies’s ads I’m listening- he’s beside himself...hollering at the mayor of Boston!
YAY! and the WH & Dims blaming Coakley, internal cannibalism, YAY!
You sure that isn't Michelle?
That looks like Fat Teddy, Zero, and Axelshaft, but who’s the black guy second from left?

For a few minutes, the Boston Globe posted the result of todays election. Then they noticed, and took it down. Their hypothetical result was Coakley 50%, Brown 49%, Kennedy 1%, with Coakley the winner.
Suppose, just suppose, that tonight or tomorrow, once all the votes have been counted, it is announced that the result is Coakley 50, Brown 49, Kennedy 1? Think thered be riots in Massachusetts?
Actually its looking like 0 for 5
The Olympics - showed up, they lost in first round
Climate Change - showed up, China told him to F off.
NJ - showed up they lost big time
Virginia - Showed up lost big time
Mass - showed up ?????????
FWIW, this just posted from Red Mass Group:
Only 3% turnout in Springfield, MA as of 12:30pm
“In what MassLive.com is calling as “higher turnout than expected” only 2,700 of close to 90,000 registered voters in Springfield casted a ballot as of 12:30PM.
Judging from turnout so far, Oyola said turnout could reach as high as 25-30 percent. “As high as 25%”, you’ve gotta be kidding me! Talk about relative terms! If one of the Democratic strong holds is only throwing 2,700 votes Coakley’s way as of 12:30PM. A town 1/10th it’s size, Hanover, is already covering the difference. Hearing that must be crushing for Coakley. If that’s their math, I’ll gladly trade Hanover to take Springfield off the table. WOW!”
