I was wrong.

[WilliamPitt]

Yesterday, I put up a post predicting a Coakley win. "Bank it" were the words I used specifically.

I apologize to anyone whose hopes I got up.

This.

Sucks.

:(

[varelse]

1. I'm sorry you were wrong

it's not your fault, though. :(

[Grand Taurean]

2. Horrible will.

:cry:

[EFerrari]

3. I'm sorry about this outcome.

:(

[MH1]

4. Well defeatism would have been worse.

And all those slots were already taken anyway. And then some.

[cali]

that's ok. I knew you were wrong, but I think it's fine you posted it.

[Cha]

5. We're big girls and boys..

we can handle. Now we two years to get the brown out.

[bridgit]

6. Eh, sometimes the wind don't blow and the grass don't grow

[GreenPartyVoter]

7. I appreciate your attempt to shore up our hopes. I am just sorry that it didn't pan out. *hugs*

[Robb]

8. Heartfelt back atcha. nt

[Odin2005]

9. I'm sorry, Will.

:hug:

[bigwillq]

10. That's ok.

I thought she would pull it out too. And I posted that here on DU. Hopefully this is a wakeup call to our elected DEM officials. We shall see. Thanks for your hard work and your posts here. :hug: You're a good guy, even though you're a Red Sox fan.

11. It hurts my heart, Will.

When I despaired of my own representatives, there was Teddy pulling for me. Now ...

sucks.

It's okay though. Your prediction didn't break my heart. The outcome did. On to 2012, right?

Right?


:grouphug:

[WilliamPitt]

22. Right

:hug:

[undeterred]

12. I'm sure you're even more disappointed

than those of us who aren't from Massachusetts.

[yodoobo]

13. Ultimately, this is just a bump in the road

Historically insignificant.

One minor Senator is not going to set the agenda of our President.


We are now only ONE vote away from a supermajority.

Four years ago, we would have been thrilled to be where we are now.

[Tailormyst]

14. I really wish you had been right :(

I can't even think straight right now.

[Beetwasher]

15. Blows Chunks, But All Is Not Lost

Really. You better than most know that's true.

Hang in bro.

But goddamn, that fucking symbolism and irony and all that fucking shit just blows your fucking mind to tiny fragments then liquifies it in acid. I'll be damned if it doesn't and I'll be fucked if anyone would believe (up until recently) this could really happen.

[suffragette]

16. We all get it wrong sometimes

Wish you had been right, though.

[Better Believe It]

17. I'm sorry you were wrong but everyone makes mistakes.

No need to apologize.

[flvegan]

18. Has to suck for you.

You were there. Watching it VERY up close, blogging as you were. I watched this shit from over a thousand miles away. I'm disappointed in my home state

[KonaKane]

32. Apparently this is only acceptable from the source.

Strange dynamic.

[flvegan]

36. What's that now?

And yeah, I saw your locked shit OP earlier so do please be specific and careful mate, right?

[ProudToBeBlueInRhody]

19. You were simply too close to see the reality

When Massachusetts wants to act like assholes, nobody does it better.

[The Backlash Cometh]

20. Hang in there.

We know how bad you feel.

[lonestarnot]

21. Welp how's Hairy Bastid?

Bet he doesn't give a fat fuck she lost. :shrug:

[UpInArms]

23. hang in there, Will

and remember, good does not always triumph over evil.

We just have to keep on keepin' on.

:hugs:

[Jester Messiah]

24. I wasn't. But I wish it were otherwise.

I'd really like to be less of a cynic, but experience keeps justifying the behavior... ah well. The battle is lost, but the war rages on.

[WilliamPitt]

25. .

[CoffinEd]

26. Temporary setback

We'll get over it. Let Scotty dance now 'cause his time in DC will be short. And if I may quote you, "bank it."

[apocalypsehow]

27. I didn't want you to be wrong. This is an honorable OP - kudos & due respect to you for it.

:thumbsup:

[Electric Monk]

28. k&r

[donheld]

29. Sorry Will

We gotta get Obama back focusing on mainstreet.

[Throd]

30. I lost money on the Chargers, these things happen.

[Terra Alta]

31. I was wrong, too.

I posted several times that Coakley would pull it off, and that there was no way in hell a Repuke would take Teddy's seat. And I believed it too... I guess that's why this loss comes as such a big shock to me.

[TexasObserver]

33. It's ok that you said "bank it."

As I said somewhere here tonight, it's always appropriate to predict victory for the Democrat. It's never cool to say otherwise. When the election is over, we can perform the autopsy, but we don't need to have the wake before the loss.

[pscot]

34. There's a first time for every thing

This is the first time you've ever been wrong, isn't it?

37. no apology needed

i almost get the sense that she was paid to sit on the sidelines as the Republican money rolled in to propagandize the masses, unchallenged by Martha. She seemed like she was happy the pressure was off.

my hopes weren't up, anyway.
it suck balls, there will be real suffering. ya think a revolution will happen or be needed?

[WilliamPitt]

38. One last kick

39. I'm still living down
