I’m in VT and my son lives right downtown Beantown.
He promised me he’s gonna vote for SB!!!
Hoo rah!
relax on the Intrade — likely profit taking
site is regrettably slow today
The Revolution begins!! People are energized, they are putting their fears behind them and their resolve is reinforced to stop this cancer in the White House and return our country to the land of life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness. Go Scott, Go!! Thank you, MA, for stepping up and shouting out!! Our Founding Fathers would be so proud of you all....you are the Paul Reveres of our time!
Scott Brown...”The Scott Heard ‘Round the World.”
My son lives in Jamaica Plain and is voting today. We sort of avoid the political issue but he is although doesn’t quite realize it, a conservative at heart. He doesn’t like the idea that he has to have health insurance. He’s probably more of a libertarian. I will ask him tonight how he voted.
What do you expect, they been playing with themselves for months.
heavy turnout is GOOD as long as it’s not from Suffolk County (Boston)
I heard Bob Beckel on Hannity last night, discussing this very thing. He said that the Dems (and he's one of them) wouldn't dare delay it until after a vote on healthcare. Because, unsaid, was that there'd be a $hitstorm if they tried it.
That being said, I'd like to know a few things:
1) Is the Brown campaign and/or the Republican Party ready to swarm MA with lawyers, just like the Dems did in Floriduh in 2000?
2) Does Brown and/or the Republican Party have a media campaign ready to whip up public sentiment in the event of fraud and/or delaying tactics?
3) Isn't it a law and/or part of the Senate rules that when there's a special election, as soon as the polls close whomever was holding that seat beforehand ceases to be a Senator? IOW, at 8 P.M. EST tonight, Paul Kirk is promoted to citizen, and if there is a dispute/failure to seat Brown (assuming he wins) then the seat is simply vacant...which would make for the same effect (the Dems would only have 59 seats, less than the 3/5 majority needed to stop a filibuster).
Anyone who knows the answers to the above is invited to answer, so that all of us can be informed.
Excellent post, just tremendous. It had me in tears.
God bless you, bray.
Oh, you have one of those as well? My son and I talk a lot about sports, but I send him all my juicy political emails...
thumb thum.....thmup thump
can’t even type...
;~)
@NorahODonnell Brown camp sources tells me: “Longer lines outside Boston than inside. Not good sign for Coakley. Scott’s voters highly motivated.” 1/19 11:03 A.M. -
Again, FWIW. OT, sending Mr. Robinson a c-note to keep this amazing site running smoothly.
Go, Massachusetts .. lead the way for America again. Go, Scott!
‘”whats her name”
Marcy Darcy, I think.
Early exit polls in the Gardner, Fitchburg and Peabody areas show Brown leading by 14, 17, and 15% point. Here
If Scott wins big, every moderate RAT will flee the sinking ship - every RAT for himself. Can't wait.
I am also going to call one of my Democratic senators tomorrow -- someone who truly knows better -- and given what they put us through -- even ruining Christmas week with their tyranny -- and tell him, "You are next."
LOL. Bout time Pubbies started getting their fair share of the dead vote.
