"8% in and Brown is up by 5 points (52-47). Must say I’m pretty happy with the numbers so far. Many suburbs still not in yet."

Are you hearing about the turnout in the minority areas? Is it heavy, light medium?

From everything I’ve read minority area turnout was very low (about 25% from what I’ve read), which bodes well for Brown.

Minority areas did not have the high turnout that we saw in the suburbs. They will still go large for Coakley but won't have the impact on the rest of the state they would have had they turned out in large numbers.

Quite surprisingly, 5% of Boston is in and Coakley only has a 5% lead. Coakley winning big in the crunchy-granola suburbs like Newton, Cambridge, but that was to be expected.

21% in and Brown has a 7 POINT LEAD! It is about time to call this race for Brown.
