Scott Brown... PANTS ON THE GROUND!!
You made me LOL!
Last night some twitter accounts were suspended because the Progressives turned them in for spam. Some people blaming twitter but it appears to be a group who went after scottbrown hashtag posters. There is no confirmation on why the accounts were suspended but I saw the progressives being turned in for spam for filthy tricks so they decided to turn it against Scott Brown is what I think.
These people are vicious. They can’t win so they will use lies and tricks to get people out of the way.
One used a scottbrown avatar and changed the words. Not going to say what it said. A few just kept posting scott brown supporters STFU.
Yes, thank you also, Lilpug15, got it for me.
“Pants on the ground, pants on the ground - lookin’ like a fool with your pants on the ground...”
The MSM still hasn’t called Texas for Bush in 2004!
I think the Dems will wait until deep into the morning when no one is awake - 3:28am - to let her concede. Then her name will never be mentioned again.

Very funny...:)
ROFL .. Martha’s already been thrown from the bus ...WOO HOO! They are SO predictably evil and craven.

Good news from Politico:
“A Democratic operative familiar with Martha Coakley and the DSCC’s massive get-out-the-vote operation says that outreach workers in and around Boston have been stunned by the number of Democrats and Obama supporters who are waving them off, saying they’ll vote for Scott Brown.”
Good news on the health care front:
Sen Voinovich at WH today says “I am not a vote for the health care bill, period.”
My wife is from Westford.
Just like Obama’s election making the stock market fall, scott brown is making it rain.
“These people are vicious. “
Of this, there is NO DOUBT. And they’ll be in a really foul mood tomorrow realizing their 12 month reign of terror is coming to a unceremonious close.
Prays UP for Brownie! Whooop!
And the reminder that if the Dems in Mass hadn’t played fast and loose with the election laws..they woudn’t be in this pickle..it’s a self-inflicted wound..
ScottBrownMA: Come to the Park Plaza in Boston tonight at 8:30 pm, all are welcome, and I’d love to see you
Hve been look for the number of registered voters in each catagory. Recent comments have said that alomst 100% of GOP are voting Brown, Indy are running 7:3 and as many as 20% of D are crossing over. Need the percentage of registered voters to do the math;
Formula .70(A) + 1(B) + .2 (C) should equal a good estimate of the final vote for Brown.
with A = percentag of Ind
B = percent of GOP
C = percentage of Rats.
InTrade is REAL MONEY... Real people betting on many assorted things. It is hard to manipulate effectively because doing so results in a true monetary loss, since people who are confident will “call your bluff”.
Someone who is willing to lose a bundle of money can do that, of course, for a while... but when the day is done and the betting is closed, all they will be left to show for it is a Pyrrhic victory - a “false trend” showing up on the charts.
This all said, it is truly betting. Someone with inside information can make money. Someone who is willing to take the risk of being a “bookie” can manage to take a cut of the action. People who are lucky, or in some cases simply wise, can make money.
For the most part, in elections, it is simply a “poll of expectations for victory” of people who are willing to put their money where their mouth is. It tends to be as accurate as the top levels of pollsters in predicting political questions.
“Is intrade ‘reputable’?”
Well, let’s put it this way. It’s pretty thinly traded, but it’s one indicator of what speculators think will happen today, as are the drup and insurance stocks way up today...
Looks good for Brown, but the Votes are all that count...GOTV!!

California Sen. Barbara Boxer’s job just got a little harder when it comes to winning Senate passage of Democrat-sponsored climate change legislation.
A key Senate Democrat, Byron Dorgan of North Dakota, today predicted Democratic leaders would not take up sweeping climate change legislation this spring, following a contentious debate on health care.
“It is my assessment that we likely will not do climate change this year,” Dorgan told reporters. Instead, Dorgan said, the Senate probably would debate a broad energy bill that would expand offshore drilling in the eastern Gulf of Mexico and require utilities to generate more of their electricity from renewable sources. The Senate Energy and Natural Resources Committee approved that measure last year.
“My own sense is that in the aftermath of a very, very heavy lift on health care I think it is unlikely that the Senate will turn next to the very complicated and controversial subject of (climate change and) cap-and-trade legislation,” Dorgan said. “I think it is more compelling to turn to an energy bill that is bipartisan, ... that does a lot of everything (and includes provisions) to address climate change.”
