That lone Croakley supporter with her two signs looked pretty lonely standing there in front of the poles. Looked to me like she didn't have a friend in the world!

Overwhelming support for Scott Brown

Another good place to get real-time updates on Brown's win is with our friends at Red Mass Group:

Go, Brown, Go!

Or will they be held to the end of counting?

They'll be held until the DNC sees how many Coakley votes they need to manufacture.

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

Great news.

Brown Wins? Get Out of the Way or Buckle up, Says White House

“Buckle up — let’s get some stuff done,” one White House staffer said Obama’s response will be in the event of a Brown victory today in Massachusetts. Politico reports: ..................

................“This is not a moment that causes the president or anybody who works for him to express any doubt,” a senior administration official said. “It more reinforces the conviction to fight hard.” ...........

Health stocks continue to rally FWIW.

Up over 2.0% for the day...and climbing.

This is the perfect combination of stupidity and arrogance. These people have no idea why this is happening.

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

No, his brother, JFK had the seat until he was elected president in 1960. Old man Kennedy had one of his flunkies, a guy named Smith, sit in for two years until Teddy turned 30 years old and could legally be elected.

[Old Teufel Hunden]

But 1979 was more than 30 years ago. The last time they elected a Republican to the Senate was 1972 which is almost 40 years ago. Massachusetts is a pretty blue state. This is going to be a real shocker for Massachusetts to elect a Republican.

“I finally realized who Harry Reid reminds me of - Woodrow Wilson. But shorter and dumpier.”

Hmm... to me, he’s more like Granny Clampett with a gender change.

It is teachers, and others, who are intimidated.

No sure why, but as one on SCOTUS once said re:porno, their recognition of it, shows it exists.

"Teacher Alleges Intimidation at MA Polling Place
January 19, 2010 LAWRENCE, Mass.
Minutes after the polls opened at Guilmette School here in Lawrence, school teacher Diane MacDonald drove up into the parking lot in a car sporting a Scott Brown for Senate bumper sticker in her back window.
Stopping her to talk, MacDonald told Oklahoma Watchdog that for over a week she had been blasted with emails from her teacher’s union telling her and other teachers to be sure and vote for Democrat Martha Coakley.
Pointing to her Brown sticker, MacDonald smiled and said, “I’m really in enemy territory being a school teacher.”
Noting the pro-Coakley email blasts from her union, MacDonald added: “They are using school computers to send out those emails. That’s illegal.”

DU isn't feeling good this morning.

There are a few who are in full-blown denial. But most of them see the writing on the wall.

I'm dusting off my Schadenfreude graphics :)
