Wow! The polls haven't opened and Scarborough has basically said that Coakley

[Skidmore]

lost.

Editing to include a comment that a meme (Jesu, I hate that word) is being set for the day to discourage voter turnout. Let's burst that bubble. Get the vote out.

[rfranklin]

1. And we know he is always correct...

all is lost.

[barbtries]

2. he's such an asshole.

by now i would hope that most know that, excepting the 20 percenters who prefer ignorance and parade it proudly.

[Mr. Shaman]

16. ....An OPPORTUNISTIC asshole...

...(if there are people, out there, who actually take his opinions "to heart".)

His sophomoric-attempts, to come-down on the winning-side of whatever-issue, are truly amazing.

[Gargoyle22]

3. I guess I won't vote today - NOT!*

xxx

[old mark]

4. Amazing how many jerks unrec'd this already. Scarborough is a RW whore.

They give him money and he does what he is told.

[LeftishBrit]

5. Seems like the only thing that's been lost so far is Scarborough's brain!

[kayla9170]

6. He might try bringing his drunk asset to work on time

He was late as usual this morning. Also, he had the nerves to say that Harold Ford will beat Kristen Gillerband (NY) in the primary even though the poll he was talking about had Gillerband 41% to DLC Ford 17%.....which is laughable in itself (he can beat her, lol). Then he had the nerves to say that Conan O' Brien sucks and should take his money and STFU about how NBC has treated him.

You STFU Joe and learn to get up on time.

[buff2]

7. The fix must already be in

if she's already lost.

[Rockholm]

29. The Diebold programmers are going to be busy today!

[GCP]

8. It makes me even more determined to go and vote for Martha

I loathe Scarborough

[Mr. Shaman]

25. Joe Scarborough is (typical) Old-School, Florida White-Trash

I knew MANY people (down Florida-way, in the early-'70s) who could easily have been Mississippi-transplants.

Every time Scarborough gets that damned smirk, on his face, you know he's gettin'-ready to "shovel" his bigoted/sadistic/Limbaugh-style garbage.

[asjr]

9. How can anyone vote for this fellow? He

has basically said in public that he wants to kill a health bill that will help many people in this country.He has basically said America, to hell with you! I am in it for the fame and fortune and can tear down this country until it is the way Republicans want it. That is the message I receive from him. He is so inefficient he can't even lie decently.

[DemocratSinceBirth]

10. Easy

Because people are frustrated of and scared of this economy and they are going to unleash their anger on the incumbent party regardless of whether their anger is justified or not.

I hope that the 010 mid-terms are not a repeat of the debacle that occurred in 1994.

There hasn't been a Republicant elected senator from Massachusetts since Edward Brooke in the 70s and he was a liberal one.

[asjr]

11. Politics--it has always been ugly but this

is the worst I have ever seen, even worse than 2000. I do fear for this country.

[DemocratSinceBirth]

12. With A Real Unemployment Rate Of Nearly Twenty Percent

With a real unemployment rate of nearly twenty percent that suggests that either somebody is unemployed, underemployed, discouraged or knows someone close who is.

[treestar]

14. So voting against health care is going to help

Being unemployed, etc., does not make people illogical. One would hope. The underemployed, often self-employed, are the most likely to benefit from the health care bill.

[DemocratSinceBirth]

18. Anger Is Not Logical. It's A Primordial Response To A Problem.

[treestar]

30. It is something grown ups control

[ErinBerin84]

13. notice the difference in memes from

when Obama was ahead in the general election polls right before? "Are Dems overconfident? Arrogant? What about the Bradley Effect??" vs this "It's over. She lost."

[Rockholm]

15. When Coakley WINS, what will the right-wing noise machine say?

They will say that the unions, the blacks, the gays, etc. came out in force to keep status quo. They will toss out their favorite punching bags. They will just make light that Massachusetts is overwhelmingly Democratic.
Then on to Haiti.
Just like when Hoffman lost in NY, is was a non event that the Democrat won for the 1st time in 130+ years. Nothing surprising there?

[Skidmore]

17. Well, then, let's make sure that this is the story they report tomorrow.

[ErinBerin84]

19. they will either say

a: Acorn stole it

and/or

b: Dems lost anyway bc it was so close (just like how they tried to claim that the Upstate NY district was actually a "win" for conservatives, since they were able to kick out the Republican candidate in favor of the tea bagger)

[GoCubsGo]

21. What will they say?

They'll try to claim she somehow stole the election. They'll refuse to concede and drag it out like Coleman did, and like Hoffman tried to do. They'll minimize Coakley and her win. It's what they do.

[WeDidIt]

26. "ACORN stole it"

It's what they said about Minnesota, so there you go.

[Tailormyst]

20. Well- I am off to work, going to vote on the way

I'll let you guys know if the polls are busy :)

[blogslut]

22. Vote Coakley!

Or I'll kick your butt. :)

[Tailormyst]

34. I did ! I did !!!!

South Eastern Mass, I voted at 8:05, the polls were steady, no lines yet, but a steady flow. We rarely have lines anyway, except for last November. It's raining slush and pretty nasty out. Only sign holder was one lone Brown guy with signs on his pick up. Wierd, there were no signs on the grass either, which is usually filled with them for all candidates.

[blogslut]

35. Right on!

I imagine early morning voting is relatively calm as most peeps are doing the day job thang. Steady flow is a good sign. Sounds like voters are jazzed up. Let's hope that most of them are Coakley voters! :hi:

[Skidmore]

23. Thanks.

[druidity33]

32. voted 20 minutes ago...

I live in a very small rural town in Western Mass and stopped at the town hall on the way to work. I'm at a local cafe, it's snowing, roads are slippery, but everyone i've seen and talked to is a Coakley supporter.

we'll see...

:shrug:

[blogslut]

24. I'm listening to it

- no video

I hear Queen Peggy. Interesting choice of framing. No agenda there, Joe.

Who was the governor that Joe tried to bulldoze?

[saltpoint]

27. Wow. I'm not even watching that program and have basically

concluded that Scarborough is a fascist jackass.

[Leopolds Ghost]

28. Maybe he already knows how the machines voted.

Not that Americans haven't become predictable lockstep followers or anything.

[GoCubsGo]

31. Nah. He's just delusional.

I'm sure he thinks he has a huge viewership in MA, and that they're all hanging on his every word. Nobody is watching him except for the few here that are keeping an eye on him. Here's a fairly recent article about his ratings, which are headed down the drain:

[Jeff In Milwaukee]

33. Scarborough should be pulled from the air before elections....

He's a blatant shill for the Republican Party and repeats their talking points ver batim

[marmar]

36. He's doing exactly what a good GOP media whore is supposed to do......
