Hey, getting to sleep in would almost be worth it having to be a Dem voter...lol. But, I’d sell my soul in the process.

[jester221]

is freerepublic having capacity issues today, or is it just this thread?

Still 70% chance of a Brown win.

The entire site was down for awhile. Capacity or server issues, most likely.

Didn’t a Pub hold this seat before Swimmer fouled it up for fourty-odd years?

If ya got 'em, bring your camcorders to the polls.

CAUTION: know your local election laws. IIRC, do that inside the polls in Florida and you go to jail.

LOL. The servers always crash when there's a heavy turnout election. Usually Massachusetts is predictable Democrat and no reason for Freepers to cover it. Today is different!

Intrade still has Brown up 70.5 to 29...

A large turnout on Democrat turf usually means a Democrat win. If we win, the independents must break to Brown in a big way.

Heads up, FReepers.

It is 11 AM Election Day,
and the following is happening (in addition to the
preplanned ACORN and DNC and DOJ/Holder corrupt practices for voter fraud:

Criminal DNC sign violations - all over Massachusettes for Coakley and Obama
..... Ignored by the corrupt AG Coakley

Voter intimidation - all over Massachusettes for Coakley and Obama and Holder (DOJ)
..... Ignored by the corrupt AG Coakley and the corrupt DOJ

I just took a little stroll over to the DUmp. It’s reading like The Book of Lamentations.

[goldstategop]

Yep. If its still at 70% in one hour. I think Brown's done it!

boston.com has people posting their experiences at the polls. Over 800 responses, sorted by town.

About 50/50 split of Brown/Coakley voters responding. Most are reporting fairly heavy turnout in the suburbs (not always good - Littleton had 3 people reporting. All Coakley voters)
