This guy works for the Cook Political Report, and they use sophisticated voting prediction models. He says Brown is overperforming in the cities he needs to win.

A now a bad omen from Sean Trende at the RCP blog: “With 36 precincts — almost 2% ! — Brown is still at 55%-45%. Ashland is in, giving Brown a 54%-45% lead. Romney won it 59%-36%. Unless Brown is putting together a different coalition than Romney’s, he’s in trouble.”
Fox News not only went to Haiti coverage, they had Geraldo on, so two of my least favorite fox news folks were on my tv at the same time. I turned off the TV.
What areas of the State will be Brown’s strongest? Any recon from locals familiar with which precincts have reported? Thnx
Boston.com
Brown has about 33,000 lead over Coakley now.
You know, Olberman has his own show and is entitled to his opinions, but he is completely clueless as to how he appears to the public. By the way, note to NBC, I will NOT watch you football pre-game shows as long as Olberman is a member of the cast.
Does anyone realize how very, very awesome that is? The people are engaged.

Thank you, dear Bushbacker1. Even the creditcard donator portal went on the blink this morning. FReepers were trying several times to make contributions. Paypal was the only functioning venue. :(
SCOTT BROWN IS HOLDING HIS 5 POINT LEAD!!!!!!
LOOKS LIKE A CHAMPAGNE NIGHT!
YES?
I cheated, got 400 to backlog lol
Thank you very much .. that’s a big chunk
of food for thought.
So we ponder stealth vs machine, I take it.

@PoliticalMath: Wait a second! Marcia Coakley isn’t on this ballot! Must be a conspiracy. #MASen\\LMAO
solos42 Scott Brown needs a 9pt spread so the election can not be stolen”Glenn Beck
RT @Txn_1st: 4/15 they mocked us, Aug they insulted us, 9/12 they discounted us & on Jan19 they will fear us! The people R coming!
Quite surprisingly, 5% of Boston is in and Coakley only has a 5% lead. Coakley winning big in the crunchy-granola suburbs like Newton, Cambridge, but that was to be expected.
21% in and Brown has a 7 POINT LEAD! It is about time to call this race for Brown.
Thanks...I’m so ready to do the happy dance! It’s been awhile...stand back everyone!
