Tonight's Massachusetts Election Is Pivotal

As they are poised for a critical defeat, watching Matthews and his ilk on MSNBC try to explain this administration’s failings is just epic. The horse they so blindly backed has come up lame. Embarrassingly lame, in fact.

This could also put an end to the healthcare scam we are all about to be forced to swallow in some form soon. If so, the hopelessly inept Obama is essentially done.

Of course, it’s not over yet. But the current exit polls are pretty lopsided and looking quite good.

When should we start hearing results?

voted for Brown after work. Got my fingers crossed. Hopefully if Brown wins, it will start a domino effect across the country.

thank you from Texas. I wish I could vote there, I should ask ACORN perhaps :smiley:

The polls close in 6 minutes, so I’d say around 9. By ten or so the verdict should be in unless it’s too close to call right away.

I think its unbelievable that this race has become as close as it is. Perhaps the world is starting to right itself.

As much as I despise MSNBC, tonight it is spectacular entertainment. And now that Olberman is on it is even better. Reality has finally dawned on these idiots.

For once NBC has actually generated “must see TV”.

For the first time in a long time, my vote in Massachusetts counts for something. My polling place was the most crowded I’ve ever seen.

Fivethirtyeight.com predicted Brown’s odds as 3:1 based on the last polling numbers, and Intrade.com has Brown’s chances at about 75-80%. We should know soon as numbers start coming in.

A Brown victory could be the second time in US history that a revolution started in Massachusetts.

Thanks for the heads up. I flipped the TV over there and I cannot believe what Olberman is saying.

Coakely’s own pollster Salinda Lake, just did a web interview within the last hour, conceding defeat. Damn I hope thats true. This single senatorial election has inter-generational ramifications. If Brown gets the win, he could effectively stop “Obamacare” in its tracks. The dems also promised that if Brown wins, they are going to try to pull some scam to delay Brown’s entrance into the Senate. They should grow up and do whats best for their country instead of doing whats best for themselves. Keep your fingers crossed for Brown fellas!!

Also, am I the only one who finds it odd that there are no exit polls??? You know what else is funny??? Everytime Obama campaigns, his candidate loses!!! Roflmao!!!

Keep an eye on Rasmussen Reports data here:

I just worry about a repeat of MN…recount and find ballots in the trunk’s of people’s cars until a recount shows the dem won, and then call the election for the dem.

Unless she concedes defeat or there is a 10% win on Brown’s side this will probably end up in a legal tangle until Coakley is announced the winner. Do not think for a second that the dems are just going to give up if its close.

53 TO 46 WITH 21% IN…

“Brown is overperforming his targets in “red” (relative to MA) areas that he was supposed to win. But Coakley holding own in blueish areas.”

I hope this is the first domino of backlash against the Dems…:smiley:

I hope so too. I actually think this may be the third domino after Virginia and New Jersey gubernatorial victories!!:slight_smile:

“Coakley not doing so hot in early reporting Boston precincts. Must be those near Fenway Park.”

52% reporting

Brown - 587389 - 53%
Coakley - 520311 - 46%

Fox news dot com is reporting 52% to 47% for Brown with 39% of precincts reporting. I don’t have cable news so I can’t watch all the fun.
