No polling for a week, and now a last minute exit poll? Weird.
THANK YOU for your report!
Thrilled that things look great !!!!!!
PARTY HARDY WHERE EVER YOU WISH!

((((((((( HUGS ))))))))))
If the "machine" thought she would concede ahead of the lawyers doing their thing, Marcia would be sequestered in a hotel room with no contact with the outside world.
Mitt on RKO right now. Heading to Park Plaza. Boo.
I’m going with 12:01 am.
I agree.
I don’t know how these things happen,”
Well heck, that's easy. If you're gonna fill data in to test your table and map, why not do it so it comes out the way you'd like? That way you can drive conservatives nuts thinking there's a conspiracy going on.
Jumping in front of the parade? "follow me, boys; follow meeeeee"
I’m gonna go with 11:11, just because I like that number.
What’s that song?
PANTS DOWN?
Good Stuff here....American Spectator brief blog entry.
Massachusetts Union Official for Brown: ‘Kerry, You’re Next’
By Robert Stacy McCain on 1.19.10 @ 2:04PM
FITCHBURG, Mass. — He is the president of an American Federation of State, County and Municipal Employees (AFSCME) local in Worcester and says that he is one of three officials of the local who is supporting Republican Scott Brown.
There is top-down pressure from AFSCME pressuring locals to support Democrat Martha Coakley, but the president of this local (there are multiple AFSCME locals in Worcester) says he tosses those directives “straight in the garbage.”
This special election is a harbinger of future results, said this blue-collar reneaged. “I’ve got a sign on my wall — ‘Kerry, You’re Next!’”

I don’t much care what time she concedes as long as she brings a few Kennedys with her....Anyone want to bet if Vicky will show up if “Marcia” loses?
It's just Demo-Speak -- "Global warming causes cold weather"; "Up is down"; "Wrong is right"; etc., etc. etc. It's easy once you get the hang of it! ;-)
Is intrade ‘reputable’?
One hour after the MSM media declars the race for Brown, whenever that is.....She’ll need that much time to clean her eyes up.
Excellent point from the Corner about how Brown is appearing above the fray in all the attacks.
I strongly believe that is a big reason why he is succeeding here.
He is masterfully countering Coakley’s attacks, all the while appearing to not fight back at all. Damn brilliant.
Something that the GOP needs to study.
You can fight back against lies in campaigns without getting into the gutters with the Dems, and it really helps your campaign.
I can count at least a half-dozen people who claim to be Dems on the Boston Globe site saying they were swayed to vote for Brown SOLELY on Coakley’s negative ads.
That’s big stuff there.
“Conservative candidates should get angry about genuine outrages of course, but otherwise, be cheerful, optimistic, and civil.”
In short, the Reagan model - which Brown is wisely following. Even his reponses to outrageous attacks have been “more in sorrow than in anger”, much like Reagan’s in similar circumstances. This makes a nice contrast to the truly nasty stuff coming from the other side, including the “uniter-in-chief.” I have to laugh when I see the headlines on the local Mass. websites talking how negative “the campaign” has become, as it both sides have gotten down in the gutter.
And you’re right, anger correctly directed is both useful and appropriate. Anger at terrorists who want to murder Americans and inflict an alien system of governance on the whole world. But not against those from the other political party or who hold opinions that differ from yours. In this context it is interesting to compare Obama’s apparently genuine and heartfelt anger at the banks and insurance companies visible with his cool, district-attorney-in-traffic-court demeanor when he finally got around to discussing the Undi-Bomber three days after the event….”
Just gleaned a quote from a Croakley thread at DU. Even the Dims are waking up to the failures of this administration.
“How many Dems feel like turning out (to vote) after being sold a bill of goods that were never delivered.”
Pants on the ground, pants on the ground - lookin’ like a fool with your pants on the ground... :)
